Has the rest of the escapist been watching the new series of 'The Prisoner'? The American take on the classic British ITN Drama that, unfortunately, made no sense toward the end.

Well, here is my check list;

Rover [/]
'I'm not a number, I'm a free man!' [/]
The theme tune []
The idea of the village [/]
The aesthetics of the village []

Well, for a remake of a brilliant classic series, 3 out of 5 is not that bad. The rover update works, the village works and they said the famous line. But I don't like the new theme tune or the village itself. Far too large and there is not a big enough boundaries.

What do you, the fellow escapists, think?

Being a huge fan [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.83870-R-I-P-Patrick-McGoohan] of the original, I was shocked to see it on without having any prior knowledge of it appearing. Especially with Serena McKellen.

But to put it against Doctor Who was suicide for ITV. Hopefully I'll get to see it soon.
