Photo from The Prisoner showing Patrick McGoohan as Number Six cautiously stepping out of his house in The Village, ready for another game of cat and mouse.
It’s another beautiful day in The Village.
(This picture always reminds me of Jerry peeking his head out of his mousehole to see if Tom is around.)

Born 19 March 1928, actor Patrick McGoohan. Though born in the US, McGoohan moved to the UK with his family as a child and later became one of Britain’s best-known actors. Fans loved him as John Drake in Danger Man and as Number Six in cult series The Prisoner. #PatrickMcGoohan #ThePrisoner
Today we celebrate the birthday of Irish-American actor, screenwriter, and director Patrick McGoohan, born today in 1928. His career-defining roles were in the British series Danger Man and the surreal psychological drama The Prisoner, which he co-created. #PatrickMcGoohan
Today's Wyrd Britain birthday honours go out to Patrick McGoohan (1928).

#PatrickMcGoohan BOTD 1928 - menacing #PatrickWymark in DR SYN ALIAS THE SCARECROW (1963), in DANGER MAN - AN AFFAIR OF STATE (1960) and as the executioner in DANTON'S DEATH (1959).
Old adverts from the 1970s this shows the Milk Tray Man who had the disconcerting ability to turn up in women's bedrooms whilst they slept - leaving a box of Milk Tray Chocolates as the passive aggressive message he'd been. Purple Blue box and the Shadowy Man figure standing arms crossed in the left hand corner. How times have changed for the better. Schoolboys loved this stuff (in period) and mums enjoyed the chocks!
The late Patrick McGoohan stikes his very familiar pose as both "Danger Man" his founding role in the genre and the later "The Prisoner" No 6 of the Village (probable source of this image). In the image he stands in an open double doorway arms stretched to either side he is leaning slightly into the room and he is frustrated/angry - lit from the borrowed light behind him. It's a classic "Look here, what is this all about" stance that he made his own in early TV drama at which he always excelled.
During my litter pick last night/this morning milk boys van cruised past with one lad stood in the lit open doorway adopting a distinct pose of the #MilkTrayMan all in black or perhaps the late #PatrickMcGoohan as #DangerMan
He of course, would be oblivious to either analogy today! #MeAsOldster 😐
Patrick McGoohan in a scene from 'Arrival,' the opening episode of The Prisoner. Prisoner: "The time of my birth is missing." Number 2: "Well, there you are. Now let’s bring it all up to date." Prisoner: "Four thirty-one a.m., nineteenth of March 1928. I’ve nothing to say. Is that clear? Absolutely nothing.”
Remembering Patrick McGoohan on what would have been his 98th birthday.

Forty-seven years ago today at the Plaza 1 cinema, with $250 million in gold at stake, hitting a 4 star general came cheap... #BrassTarget #1970s #JohnHough #GeorgeKennedy #JohnCassavetes #sophialoren #RobertVaughn #PatrickMcGoohan #BruceDavison
Is this a "real" song (as opposed to something thrown together for the show)? I tried to track it down, but no luck.

It’s hard to believe that 2026 marks 60 years since filming began on The Prisoner. As you walk around Portmeirion, there is always something to appreciate, with shots from the series indelibly etched on your mind. #portmeirion #theprisoner #patrickmcgoohan #northwales
I wrote an article about the six #DangerMan novels for Spybrary.com:
