Anyone here have the series? Where is the easiest place to rent / watch it? I've never seen it.

Netflix.
I have the 2nd disc right now. It's pretty different, I have to say, but interesting.
KAR 120C only shows up during the intro reel; it's not (yet anyway) actually featured during the show.

I rented via Netflix.
"The Prisoner" fan group, Six Of One, was involved with the production of the latest DVD set released this summer '06. I just might have to ask for it for Christmas!
I have the three CD set of music from the series. Makes for pretty weird road tripping.

The series enjoyed a re-run last year on BBC America (along with The Avengers). All very 60's. Emma Peel is still a total babe http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/coolgleamA.gif

If you like The Prisoner .. then you should also check out Danger Man aka Secret Agent Man played by Patrick McGoohan also. Great cold war spy drama.

I guess I'll have to go rent and see. I know a number of you mentioned this show as part of your connection to the Seven, so I'll have a look see. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/cheers2.gif

Mazda-
I'm shocked! The beginning of the show is used in an iron maiden song ("Run to the Hills", I think)..the soundtrack of our generation x youths.
I actually am only familiar with it in in relation to Sevens and of course the similar sorts of shows at the time.

Bah, nevermind.. solder guy already mentioned netflix<edited><editID>Kelster</editID><editDate>2006-11-13 21:19:54</editDate></edited>
Here is an interesting little factoid about the car:
Originally, they were planning on using the Elan for the show, as that was the car on the Avengers and Lotus wanted to push it (actually, the Elan makes a guest-starring appearance in the episode 'The Girl Who Was Death.'). Whilst visiting the main Lotus dealership to get the car, McGoohan saw KAR120C, a S2 demo, and said, "that's the car." He liked the uniqueness.
The car that is driven later is a S3 dressed to look like the original, as the S2 had been sold by then.

This was a father's day gift two years ago. KAR120C plate was won on eBay and plate holder obtained from europlates.com.
