the Prisoner , 1960s Brit TV
 
Absolutly amazing , just watched an episode of "the Prisoner" a TV show made in the UK during the 60s , dont know how the film 'techies' have done it but it looks like it was made yesterday , I'm thinking it was originally shot in black and white , don't think colour TV came to the UK until the 70s .
Never really understood it the first time around and it still seems a bit weird to me today , but thats me (not a big sci-fi fan).

Wonder if any other Accy web users into "sci-fi' care to comment , thx

I can remember watching it in the sixties and seventies SJ, and I'm nearly sure it was in colour, because I remember those vivid striped jackets they wore, The Prisoner was a sequel to Danger Man, which was in Black and White, If I remember rightly it was filmed in Port Marian in Wales. I have never been a big fan of Sci Fi, but I find myself watching the sci fi channel quite a lot these days they show some weird and wonderful films
