Listener comments!
	12:02pm Alex In Illinois: Where am I!?
	12:03pm Alex In Illinois: Who is Number 1?
	12:03pm 67tele: mornin and Happy Friday
	12:03pm Alex In Illinois: I am not a number!
	🛒 12:03pm Brian in UK: I am not a number I am a pair of tapered slacks.
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: How do, UM and all!! ::gets smothered by Rover::
	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: Honk if you love Hinky!
	12:04pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	🛒 12:04pm Brian in UK: Uncle, the Lotus 7 is outside and the engine is running.
	12:04pm Alex In Illinois: I always found it funny that he does not notice the large ominous black car following him home.
	12:05pm Dean: A bit of a cold, UM?
	12:05pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M! This is great!
	12:05pm Alex In Illinois: Uncle Micheal: Your voice, oh yes, I remember, frog in your throat monkey up your nose.
	12:06pm burke: "Who does Number 2 work for?"
	12:06pm Doug Schulkind: Number two in his throat, but #1 in our hearts, it's Uncle Michael!
	12:06pm Alex In Illinois: Slams fist on table punctuated by the thunder sound. My favorite part.
	12:07pm listener james from westwood: There are at least two appearances of Rover in "The Simpsons" and I adore them both.
	12:07pm Rich in Washington: I was just about to say, before landing on the playlist: it feels like I'm trapped in an Avengers episode. I was close, at least.
	12:08pm Alex In Illinois: The best theme music ever written for a TV show.
	12:08pm Jeff Golick: I wouldn't mind being indexed.
	12:08pm Parq: Chicken soup, Unc!
	12:08pm Dominick: matt.files.wordpress.com...
	12:09pm Rich in Washington: I was just recently watching Devo's The Men Who Make the Music and there's a brief - perhaps unintentional - oblique reference the The Prisoner's rover.
	🛒 12:09pm Brian in UK: Uncle, ever been to Portmeirion? Clough Williams Ellis has some imagination.
	12:09pm Jeff Golick: Is this a safe space in which to concede that I've never seen an episode of the TV program under discussion today?
	12:09pm Dean: Golick, Jeff There. You're indexed.
	12:10pm Jeff Golick: I feel more organized already.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Alex! Tele! Brian! James! Bob! Dean! VP! Burke! Rich! Jeff! Parq! Dominick!
	12:10pm Dean: BTW, I was listening to D:O live on the stream this past Sunday. My 10YO was looking over my shoulder reading the comments. "That Jeff Golick guy is always there!"
	🛒 12:10pm Brian in UK: Jeff, only ever saw it when it first appeared on TV in the Sixties. It took on a life of its own years after that.
	🛒 12:12pm Brian in UK: See also Golick, Jeffrey Golick, J
	12:12pm Jeff Golick: Ha, @Dean. I feel similarly about many of the names hereabouts.
	12:12pm Stevel: This is continuing a deeply angsty vibe that Marty McSorley started this morning. Works for me!
	12:12pm Dean: Syndetic structure, represent!
	🛒 12:13pm Brian in UK: Uncle, not a Lotus 7 but the Napier Bentley would have seen off the black car.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Rover haunted my childhood imagination for a period of time between seeing and forgetting the show existed...and later realizing it it was real.
	12:14pm Parq: This is gonna be cool! I knew there was a cult following for the P but I never knew there was so much off-mainstream music inspired by it.
	12:14pm Dean: Awaiting The Clash's eponymous tune during the coming hours...
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Steve!
	12:14pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff, if, heavens forbid, you're laid up for a stretch this winter with some spare Netflix or other bingeing time, it's def. worth a look; just 1 season to review.
	12:15pm SeanG: UM!
	12:15pm listener james from westwood: @Parq: I can think of at least one track that we may hear w/ direct Prisoner influence that would also be AOK with Sheila B.
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: What would that be, James?
	12:16pm βrian: Nor have I seen it, Jeff. Though the plot seems oddly familiar ...
	12:16pm Jeff Golick: I should be careful saying this, @listener james, but I long for such a stretch. My kids pretty much commandeer the tee vee/streaming controls. That said, I was out of work for a year and barely watched anything at all.
	12:17pm Roberto: PBS reran the entire Prisoner series in the summer of 1980. I was inspired to record every episode on Betamax.
	12:17pm SeanG: today is the beginning of a new age, a new golden dawn.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Sean! Roberto!
	12:19pm βrian: Just checked Netflix for The Prisoner. "Availability Unknown," as usual ..
	12:20pm Alex In Illinois: I forgot about the short bald guy who gets on the phone and says: "Orange Alert".
	12:20pm Dean: Well, well. Happy man here.
	12:20pm Parq: That didn't take long.
	12:21pm V Priceless: though no tunes on the record make the 'Prisoner' connection, I can't help thinking of Dr. Feelgood's great "Be Seeing You" album, as the album art (and title, obviously) contained several Prisoner-related nods, etc.
	12:21pm Roberto: I never realized until now where Homeland Security got their alert system from.
	12:21pm holland oats: a fav mick tune
	12:21pm listener james from westwood: @UM: Iron Maiden, "The Prisoner."
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Hmm...
	12:23pm V Priceless: if you included "Prisoner" by the Spiders From Mars, I'm gonna freak....
	12:24pm Dean: The measure of a good rock band: you want to be in the band, up front and loud. I want to be up front and loudly playing Clash's "Prisoner." They were a good rock band.
	12:25pm listener james from westwood: There are likely many other somewhat more Prisoner-y songs out there, but back in high school it made for a good double-take for those of us who'd also just gotten into the show.
	12:25pm Alex In Illinois: Aerate the lawn? Maybe shovel snow.
	12:26pm Dean: The 2+ set tune? A particularly dilated "Dark Star"?
	12:26pm SeanG: hell yeah dude
	12:27pm Jeff Golick: Looks like the only legal streaming option for TP right now is via Amazon ugh: www.amazon.com... AMC had the whole thing up online as of a few years ago, but they appear to have lost it.
	12:27pm listener james from westwood: And there we go!
	12:27pm βrian: We aerated our lawn last year with a rototiller. Covered it with mulch, and we were good.
	12:28pm listener james from westwood: Occasionally the universe will present me with the perfect opportunity to reply with the famous line we just heard, and the more public the place it happens, the happier I am to so reply.
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: We're going to be hearing some work that was abstractly inspired by the series. We're going to be hearing some songs that had videos shot at "The Village", etc.
	12:31pm V Priceless: ahh...those Swindon chaps?
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Yes, VP.
	12:33pm V Priceless: : )
	🛒 12:36pm Brian in UK: Uncle, guess you might like to go and see this one year. festivalnumber6.com
	12:37pm Doug Schulkind: Full disclosure: I have not watched literally one second of The Prisoner.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Bucket list, Brian!
	12:38pm Roberto: Oh right -- during the PBS rebroadcast, there was a psychologist who analyzed every episode afterwards. Heavy stuff...
	12:39pm listener james from westwood: That sample sounded very much like Peter Wyngarde.
	12:41pm Jeff Golick: Let's watch it together, @Doug. I'll bring popcorn.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: I can lend out the DVD's...since I also have the Blu-Ray.
	12:43pm Roberto: I'll check my parents' closet for the Betamax tapes.
	12:46pm Doug Schulkind: OK, Colonel Golick!
	12:47pm Dean: I don't think you back-announced last week's show at all. Start there.
	12:47pm listener james from westwood: It's been ages since I've seen the show but that droll, ironic voice of his has few peers!
	12:50pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff, UM: Could this bode the appearance of a Prisoner Time a la Simpsons Time?
	12:50pm Lizardner Dave: We won't be examining the 2009 version, will we? I don't remember that being particularly good.
	12:53pm Jeff Golick: In America, all the time is Prisoner Time!
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: No, Dave. I never saw it.
	12:56pm Alex In Illinois: @Lizardner Dave: Yes, the 2009 version just could not hold my attention very well. It seemed to be slow paced, and there did not seem to be anything happening.
	12:58pm Alex In Illinois: I think I saw most of one episode of the 2009 version one time, and I think another time I fell asleep while trying to watch another episode of it.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Thenewno2 - Dhani Harrison
	1:00pm Dean: Any chance anybody can come up with "six degrees" connection between Raspberries and The Prisoner? I'd love to hear "Overnight Sensation" right about now. Or The Boys' "Brickfield Nights."
	1:01pm SeanG: nice! sounds like George too
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Man...six degrees would be a fun set piece for Hinky Dinky Time.
	1:04pm V Priceless: yeah!!
	1:05pm Dean: You could propel the entire playlist by six degree relationships from song to song. E.g., follow up a Savoy Brown tune recorded in studio X by engineer Y with a Caravan tune involving X and Y during same year.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: I could do it often...take challenges!
	1:09pm Stanley: I'm a freeform man!
	1:09pm Stanley: Hahahaha (diabolical laugh)
	1:18pm chromaphone: Was the Prisoner actually a good show? My buddy got into it in the mid-90s and I remember thinking it had a great look to it, but when we watched it I thought it was kind of boring.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: I like it. It's not paced or edited like we're used to these days.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Stanley! Chromaphone!
	1:20pm chromaphone: cool, I'll check it out.
	🛒 1:23pm Brian in UK: chromaphone not seen it for probably thirty five years but I would guess that it looks dated. It would all be CGI bollocks now. Dare I say you had to use a bit of imagination back then.
	🛒 1:26pm Brian in UK: I think McGoohan probably winged a lot. He used stock British character actors of the time who usually did a good job.
	1:26pm listener james from westwood: Dated I can live with. Dated I even seek out. Make do with what you've got. Limits engender creativity. Hell, when you're in the creative flow, you may not even see them as limits.
	1:27pm Dean: Devil Dolls suddenly reminded me of Doctors of Madness. The violin.
	1:29pm Dean: *Doll
	1:40pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta run and go study for my last two finals. Feel better, Uncle Michael. Have a spectacularly uneventful weekend, everyone!
	1:42pm listener james from westwood: Good studying, Doug, and crush those last finals!
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Bye bye Doug.
	1:52pm listener james from westwood: Sweet suite, this is!
	1:58pm Rich in Washington: some industrial dance band sampled audio from that The Girl Who Was Death episode but I cannot remember who. Sometime in the early 90s.
	1:58pm Rich in Washington: This is impressive, UM. I had no idea there was so much Prisoner related music.
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: There is a lot...and more to come! Maybe the one you're thinking of...
	2:00pm ndbob: pretty good music here UM - though I have to admit I didn't care for the show at all
	🛒 2:00pm Brian in UK: @Rich I like Amanda Nazz's pimping of your avatar.
	2:01pm Dean: Roy Harper does a fair Sinead O'Connor impression.
	2:01pm Dean: Avant la lettre, I mean.
	🛒 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even 'Secret Agent Man' - since 'The Prisoner' was all about him resigning from that & then getting kidnapped... Hullo Villagers. Fine broadcast.
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: This isn't Roy's only dip in the Prisoner pool.
	2:05pm Listener Robert: It's been pointed out plenty that they always snuck in that clue: "Who is No. 1?" "You are No. 6" was to be understood as, "Who is No. 1?" "You are, No. 6."
	🛒 2:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I got obsessed w/ the program when I was school-aged - & sign on to the truism that it's one of the best ever...but I wonder what my take would be now. There are only - 16-17 episodes, I think? Thing is - I've watched less & less of anything since I became an audio stream & internet addict. @LRobert: That makes grammatical sense of the obvious evasion, doesn't it?
	2:07pm Listener Robert: Like the promo to the 2nd season of "Lost", which just blurted out: THEY'RE NOT THE SURVIVORS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE which was to be understood as 2 sentences or clauses.
	2:08pm Listener Robert: Rabbit, I stopped watching TV entirely a few yrs. ago, after "Lost" & "Monk".
	🛒 2:08pm Brian in UK: I'm not anti semantic Some of my best friends are words.
	🛒 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Freedom Isn't Free.
	2:12pm V Priceless: it wouldn't surprise me if bowie took some inspiration from Roy's vocal stylings
	2:13pm V Priceless: which, in turn, gets us back to Dylan...
	2:17pm chromaphone: Roy certainly has a lot to say.
	2:17pm Stevel: chromaphone: LOTS of words.
	2:19pm listener james from westwood: @Rev: I watch maybe one or no shows a season now, if there's even such a thing as a season anymore. Looking for Better Call Saul to restart. Will grab it from iTunes. No cable TV; not worth it to me. Far, far more of a radio and podcast listener these days as well as Twitter grazing.
	🛒 2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Some people are trippier w/ just an acoustic guitar than others w/ elaborate production...okay so here's a band...I think Donovan deserves more credit than is generally given (certainly for his influence on T.Rex): he was quite early w/ it - & Syd Barrett was a prototype of Alternative in a band that later became paragons of Classic...Altho' being weird w/ just an Acoustic is surely just a pretty natural occurrence...Incredible String Band are exemplars...FreakFolk & all this...Who was that Aussie who was Syd's doppleganger? I forgot already (shame)...Yes - as The Boss said - what Elvis did for our bodies - Dylan did for our minds...
	2:21pm βrian: Loving Better Call Saul, as well. Kim Wexler's voice makes me giddy.
	2:22pm Jeff Golick: ...and high school PTSD kicks in in 3...2...1...
	2:22pm Dean: I had this nagging sense there was a Siouxsie connection, but I couldn't confirm it.
	2:23pm SeanG: just requested the entire prisoner series from my local library
	🛒 2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Modern life is a journey by car. The Passengers change terribly in their reeking seats, or roam from car to car, subject to unceasing transformation. Inevitable progress is made toward the beginning (there is no difference in terminals), as we slice through cities, whose ripped backsides present a moving picture of windows, signs, streets, buildings. Sometimes other vessels, closed worlds, vacuums, travel along beside to move ahead or fall utterly behind. ...Now - who is that by, FMUvians?
	2:27pm V Priceless: @UM: Didn't they do "The Meeting Place" there too? Great track! Sounds like the 'corrected polarity' version, too!
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: Yes, VP...they did. I had to choose.
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: And yes, this is the corrected polarity.
	2:29pm V Priceless: cool - I was unaware of this being a vid filmed there too..will explore - thx
	2:29pm burke: Hullo, Gaz!
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Burke!
	2:30pm Dean: Pure guessage here, RRN63, but: John Dos Passos?
	2:31pm Alex In Illinois: I know there was a cut by Colourbox called Just Give 'em Whiskey with sound samples from both the Prisoner and the movie Westworld
	2:31pm listener james from westwood: Altered Images!!
	2:32pm Alex In Illinois: This is when Altered Images was more fun.
	🛒 2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Dean: FMU favorite - Jim Morrison.
	2:32pm listener james from westwood: @βrian: Another Kim Wexler/Rhea Seehorn fan here, too. The show hits a spot I didn't know I had.
	2:33pm SeanG: @rrn63 Ballard?
	2:33pm SeanG: haha
	2:33pm Dean: Geez, wow. Never woulda guessed. Was about to suggest it has a little DeLeuze/Guattari to it, too.
	🛒 2:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I shoulda waited for more guesses...
	2:35pm geezerette: UM, Audio Deja Vu! Cheers from Socal.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: geezerette! Rev!
	2:37pm Dean: There's another HDT show theme: Songs Inspired by A Thousand Plateaus. For a day when you're only allotted ten minutes. Even then, a tough bill to fill, I suspect.
	2:39pm melinda: Here for the last 21 minutes!
	2:39pm V Priceless: @RRN63: David Thomas of Ubu continues to carry the 'forgotten highways and ghost towns' torch with much poetic aplomb
	2:40pm Listener Robert: I should've mentioned that "Lost" itself referenced "The Prisoner" in a couple of brief & subtle ways. One was a visual quote, where the character the fans called Benry (played by Michael Emerson) pushed aside the clothes in his closet. The other was a thematic allusion to "The Chimes of Big Ben", in that Big Ben could be heard on the sound track, just to remind the audience that "Lost" could make things appear to be happening anytime, anywhen, and it's really some other time or place; "Lost" hammered that point home many ways, but most of the audience didn't give it enough respect, because it's so contrary to conventional exposition.
	2:41pm Alex In Illinois: I recall this tune being in the last episodes.
	2:42pm listener james from westwood: will be taking you mobile for the last chunk. so saying a big thank-you now for the captivating (har) theme show!
	2:43pm geezerette: I am not a number! I am an avatar! :)
	2:44pm Alex In Illinois: My favorite number of the alphabet is purple.
	2:45pm Parq: I was out of the room -- what's the connection between the show and "Dry Bones"?
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Parq, in the episode Fall Out, it features in #48's trial.
	2:48pm Dean: I am not a numbskull!
	2:48pm Alex In Illinois: . . . in the last episide, when #2, #6 and #48 (?) are in that truck cage, driving down the highway, and a car passes them playing the song on the radio, the 3 of them start singing it and dancing.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: The actual record is heard in the earlier episode that features #48, I believe.
	2:52pm Daddy-o Dilly: Really enjoying today's program. I watched "The Prisoner"'s first American broadcast on CBS in 1968. I immediately fell in love with the series and have remained a life long fan. The DVD set is a must.
	2:52pm Listener Robert: Actually MOST of "Lost" was based on British predecessor material.
	2:52pm Parq: For the record, I didn't really understand the show in its original release, and I watched only a few episodes, mostly because I dug how weird it was.
	2:54pm Daddy-o Dilly: I've always been satisfied with the idea that Number 6 was John Drake from "Danger Man"/"Secret Agent". Entirely arguable, however.
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:56pm SeanG: gracias UM!
	2:57pm SeanG: LOVE
	2:57pm burke: Thanks, UM. Be seeing you.
	2:58pm Daddy-o Dilly: The very idea that a show this challenging would be a Summer replacement for "The Jackie Gleason Show"!!!
	2:58pm V Priceless: thanx, Uncle M! Great show!
	2:58pm Alex In Illinois: I was 4 in 1968, so my experience was more like Uncle Michael's, where I had some quasi recollection of a white balloon chasing people, then when our local PBS affiliate started replaying it in the late 1970's, was like: "Oh, that's what I saw"
	🛒 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Beatles' ditty - used in the Last Episode - reminds me of how similar that was to 'The President's Analyst' w/ James Coburn, in many ways...
	2:59pm geezerette: thanks for the "Love", UM !
	2:59pm Daddy-o Dilly: I was 14 years old during the original broadcast. I ate this show up just like Star Trek and the Twilight Zone.
	3:00pm Parq: Sometimes I can't believe the 60s really happened. Great show, UM. I was really intrigued by the idea and you pulled it off splendidly.
	3:00pm Alex In Illinois: I have only seen 'The President's Analyst' once! It was played on TV like once, then I have never seen it repeated. We were talking about it in school the next school day.
	3:01pm Daddy-o Dilly: And that had to have been the first use of an actual Beatles record in a soundtrack other than the Beatles own movies.
	3:01pm Listener Robert: I too saw it on CBS in 1968 & again in '69. The only reason #6 isn't explicitly Danger Man (Secret Agent Man) is that they didn't have the rights to that character! But they did what they could to imply it.
	3:02pm Listener Robert: I saw "The President's Analyst" in the theater too when it came out. It was my favorite movie for decades. Now I feel soooo old!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!!
	🛒 3:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yer gonna take Meghans's job on the Themes here, UM! Nice job. Be seeing you.
	3:04pm Daddy-o Dilly: McGoohan owned the production company that made The Prisoner. He owned the series. In a book about the show I read that by the mid 1970s the series made the break-even point and started making a profit. All gravy after that. A good investment, indeed. It was Patrick's money invested in the series.
	3:06pm Listener Robert: McGoohan owned "The Prisoner". He did not own "Secret Agent".
	3:34pm The Schizoid Man: O M G ! I love "The Prisoner." I'll have to check out this show. For now, seeing the playlist and reading the comments, I'll say it appears the episodes are at archive.org . Watch every exhaustive hour on YT uploaded by Pmg6portmeiron, of behind-the-scene interviews with anybody still around who had worked on the show, put together for a documentary - including how McGoohan persisted to iron out the theme . . . An earlier version of the ending had the pennyfarthing wheel morph into the globe ang go "POP!" . . . See: https://www.youtube.com/user/Pmg6portmeirion/videos
	5:02pm The Schizoid Man: There's also a 94-minute Prisoner documentary in here done for the series' 40th anniversary https://archive.org/details/@the_village
	9:14pm Joe R.: Fun show! Jazz clarinetist Don Bryon has an album and instrumental called "You Are #6" too. https://open.spotify.com/track/2HvZxdxnQ1vJzT3zAZy9Vb

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 9, 2016

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Listener comments!
	12:02pm Alex In Illinois: Where am I!?
	12:03pm Alex In Illinois: Who is Number 1?
	12:03pm 67tele: mornin and Happy Friday
	12:03pm Alex In Illinois: I am not a number!
	🛒 12:03pm Brian in UK: I am not a number I am a pair of tapered slacks.
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: How do, UM and all!! ::gets smothered by Rover::
	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: Honk if you love Hinky!
	12:04pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	🛒 12:04pm Brian in UK: Uncle, the Lotus 7 is outside and the engine is running.
	12:04pm Alex In Illinois: I always found it funny that he does not notice the large ominous black car following him home.
	12:05pm Dean: A bit of a cold, UM?
	12:05pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M! This is great!
	12:05pm Alex In Illinois: Uncle Micheal: Your voice, oh yes, I remember, frog in your throat monkey up your nose.
	12:06pm burke: "Who does Number 2 work for?"
	12:06pm Doug Schulkind: Number two in his throat, but #1 in our hearts, it's Uncle Michael!
	12:06pm Alex In Illinois: Slams fist on table punctuated by the thunder sound. My favorite part.
	12:07pm listener james from westwood: There are at least two appearances of Rover in "The Simpsons" and I adore them both.
	12:07pm Rich in Washington: I was just about to say, before landing on the playlist: it feels like I'm trapped in an Avengers episode. I was close, at least.
	12:08pm Alex In Illinois: The best theme music ever written for a TV show.
	12:08pm Jeff Golick: I wouldn't mind being indexed.
	12:08pm Parq: Chicken soup, Unc!
	12:08pm Dominick: matt.files.wordpress.com...
	12:09pm Rich in Washington: I was just recently watching Devo's The Men Who Make the Music and there's a brief - perhaps unintentional - oblique reference the The Prisoner's rover.
	🛒 12:09pm Brian in UK: Uncle, ever been to Portmeirion? Clough Williams Ellis has some imagination.
	12:09pm Jeff Golick: Is this a safe space in which to concede that I've never seen an episode of the TV program under discussion today?
	12:09pm Dean: Golick, Jeff There. You're indexed.
	12:10pm Jeff Golick: I feel more organized already.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Alex! Tele! Brian! James! Bob! Dean! VP! Burke! Rich! Jeff! Parq! Dominick!
	12:10pm Dean: BTW, I was listening to D:O live on the stream this past Sunday. My 10YO was looking over my shoulder reading the comments. "That Jeff Golick guy is always there!"
	🛒 12:10pm Brian in UK: Jeff, only ever saw it when it first appeared on TV in the Sixties. It took on a life of its own years after that.
	🛒 12:12pm Brian in UK: See also Golick, Jeffrey Golick, J
	12:12pm Jeff Golick: Ha, @Dean. I feel similarly about many of the names hereabouts.
	12:12pm Stevel: This is continuing a deeply angsty vibe that Marty McSorley started this morning. Works for me!
	12:12pm Dean: Syndetic structure, represent!
	🛒 12:13pm Brian in UK: Uncle, not a Lotus 7 but the Napier Bentley would have seen off the black car.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Rover haunted my childhood imagination for a period of time between seeing and forgetting the show existed...and later realizing it it was real.
	12:14pm Parq: This is gonna be cool! I knew there was a cult following for the P but I never knew there was so much off-mainstream music inspired by it.
	12:14pm Dean: Awaiting The Clash's eponymous tune during the coming hours...
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Steve!
	12:14pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff, if, heavens forbid, you're laid up for a stretch this winter with some spare Netflix or other bingeing time, it's def. worth a look; just 1 season to review.
	12:15pm SeanG: UM!
	12:15pm listener james from westwood: @Parq: I can think of at least one track that we may hear w/ direct Prisoner influence that would also be AOK with Sheila B.
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: What would that be, James?
	12:16pm βrian: Nor have I seen it, Jeff. Though the plot seems oddly familiar ...
	12:16pm Jeff Golick: I should be careful saying this, @listener james, but I long for such a stretch. My kids pretty much commandeer the tee vee/streaming controls. That said, I was out of work for a year and barely watched anything at all.
	12:17pm Roberto: PBS reran the entire Prisoner series in the summer of 1980. I was inspired to record every episode on Betamax.
	12:17pm SeanG: today is the beginning of a new age, a new golden dawn.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Sean! Roberto!
	12:19pm βrian: Just checked Netflix for The Prisoner. "Availability Unknown," as usual ..
	12:20pm Alex In Illinois: I forgot about the short bald guy who gets on the phone and says: "Orange Alert".
	12:20pm Dean: Well, well. Happy man here.
	12:20pm Parq: That didn't take long.
	12:21pm V Priceless: though no tunes on the record make the 'Prisoner' connection, I can't help thinking of Dr. Feelgood's great "Be Seeing You" album, as the album art (and title, obviously) contained several Prisoner-related nods, etc.
	12:21pm Roberto: I never realized until now where Homeland Security got their alert system from.
	12:21pm holland oats: a fav mick tune
	12:21pm listener james from westwood: @UM: Iron Maiden, "The Prisoner."
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Hmm...
	12:23pm V Priceless: if you included "Prisoner" by the Spiders From Mars, I'm gonna freak....
	12:24pm Dean: The measure of a good rock band: you want to be in the band, up front and loud. I want to be up front and loudly playing Clash's "Prisoner." They were a good rock band.
	12:25pm listener james from westwood: There are likely many other somewhat more Prisoner-y songs out there, but back in high school it made for a good double-take for those of us who'd also just gotten into the show.
	12:25pm Alex In Illinois: Aerate the lawn? Maybe shovel snow.
	12:26pm Dean: The 2+ set tune? A particularly dilated "Dark Star"?
	12:26pm SeanG: hell yeah dude
	12:27pm Jeff Golick: Looks like the only legal streaming option for TP right now is via Amazon ugh: www.amazon.com... AMC had the whole thing up online as of a few years ago, but they appear to have lost it.
	12:27pm listener james from westwood: And there we go!
	12:27pm βrian: We aerated our lawn last year with a rototiller. Covered it with mulch, and we were good.
	12:28pm listener james from westwood: Occasionally the universe will present me with the perfect opportunity to reply with the famous line we just heard, and the more public the place it happens, the happier I am to so reply.
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: We're going to be hearing some work that was abstractly inspired by the series. We're going to be hearing some songs that had videos shot at "The Village", etc.
	12:31pm V Priceless: ahh...those Swindon chaps?
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Yes, VP.
	12:33pm V Priceless: : )
	🛒 12:36pm Brian in UK: Uncle, guess you might like to go and see this one year. festivalnumber6.com
	12:37pm Doug Schulkind: Full disclosure: I have not watched literally one second of The Prisoner.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Bucket list, Brian!
	12:38pm Roberto: Oh right -- during the PBS rebroadcast, there was a psychologist who analyzed every episode afterwards. Heavy stuff...
	12:39pm listener james from westwood: That sample sounded very much like Peter Wyngarde.
	12:41pm Jeff Golick: Let's watch it together, @Doug. I'll bring popcorn.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: I can lend out the DVD's...since I also have the Blu-Ray.
	12:43pm Roberto: I'll check my parents' closet for the Betamax tapes.
	12:46pm Doug Schulkind: OK, Colonel Golick!
	12:47pm Dean: I don't think you back-announced last week's show at all. Start there.
	12:47pm listener james from westwood: It's been ages since I've seen the show but that droll, ironic voice of his has few peers!
	12:50pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff, UM: Could this bode the appearance of a Prisoner Time a la Simpsons Time?
	12:50pm Lizardner Dave: We won't be examining the 2009 version, will we? I don't remember that being particularly good.
	12:53pm Jeff Golick: In America, all the time is Prisoner Time!
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: No, Dave. I never saw it.
	12:56pm Alex In Illinois: @Lizardner Dave: Yes, the 2009 version just could not hold my attention very well. It seemed to be slow paced, and there did not seem to be anything happening.
	12:58pm Alex In Illinois: I think I saw most of one episode of the 2009 version one time, and I think another time I fell asleep while trying to watch another episode of it.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Thenewno2 - Dhani Harrison
	1:00pm Dean: Any chance anybody can come up with "six degrees" connection between Raspberries and The Prisoner? I'd love to hear "Overnight Sensation" right about now. Or The Boys' "Brickfield Nights."
	1:01pm SeanG: nice! sounds like George too
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Man...six degrees would be a fun set piece for Hinky Dinky Time.
	1:04pm V Priceless: yeah!!
	1:05pm Dean: You could propel the entire playlist by six degree relationships from song to song. E.g., follow up a Savoy Brown tune recorded in studio X by engineer Y with a Caravan tune involving X and Y during same year.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: I could do it often...take challenges!
	1:09pm Stanley: I'm a freeform man!
	1:09pm Stanley: Hahahaha (diabolical laugh)
	1:18pm chromaphone: Was the Prisoner actually a good show? My buddy got into it in the mid-90s and I remember thinking it had a great look to it, but when we watched it I thought it was kind of boring.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: I like it. It's not paced or edited like we're used to these days.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Stanley! Chromaphone!
	1:20pm chromaphone: cool, I'll check it out.
	🛒 1:23pm Brian in UK: chromaphone not seen it for probably thirty five years but I would guess that it looks dated. It would all be CGI bollocks now. Dare I say you had to use a bit of imagination back then.
	🛒 1:26pm Brian in UK: I think McGoohan probably winged a lot. He used stock British character actors of the time who usually did a good job.
	1:26pm listener james from westwood: Dated I can live with. Dated I even seek out. Make do with what you've got. Limits engender creativity. Hell, when you're in the creative flow, you may not even see them as limits.
	1:27pm Dean: Devil Dolls suddenly reminded me of Doctors of Madness. The violin.
	1:29pm Dean: *Doll
	1:40pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta run and go study for my last two finals. Feel better, Uncle Michael. Have a spectacularly uneventful weekend, everyone!
	1:42pm listener james from westwood: Good studying, Doug, and crush those last finals!
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Bye bye Doug.
	1:52pm listener james from westwood: Sweet suite, this is!
	1:58pm Rich in Washington: some industrial dance band sampled audio from that The Girl Who Was Death episode but I cannot remember who. Sometime in the early 90s.
	1:58pm Rich in Washington: This is impressive, UM. I had no idea there was so much Prisoner related music.
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: There is a lot...and more to come! Maybe the one you're thinking of...
	2:00pm ndbob: pretty good music here UM - though I have to admit I didn't care for the show at all
	🛒 2:00pm Brian in UK: @Rich I like Amanda Nazz's pimping of your avatar.
	2:01pm Dean: Roy Harper does a fair Sinead O'Connor impression.
	2:01pm Dean: Avant la lettre, I mean.
	🛒 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even 'Secret Agent Man' - since 'The Prisoner' was all about him resigning from that & then getting kidnapped... Hullo Villagers. Fine broadcast.
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: This isn't Roy's only dip in the Prisoner pool.
	2:05pm Listener Robert: It's been pointed out plenty that they always snuck in that clue: "Who is No. 1?" "You are No. 6" was to be understood as, "Who is No. 1?" "You are, No. 6."
	🛒 2:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I got obsessed w/ the program when I was school-aged - & sign on to the truism that it's one of the best ever...but I wonder what my take would be now. There are only - 16-17 episodes, I think? Thing is - I've watched less & less of anything since I became an audio stream & internet addict. @LRobert: That makes grammatical sense of the obvious evasion, doesn't it?
	2:07pm Listener Robert: Like the promo to the 2nd season of "Lost", which just blurted out: THEY'RE NOT THE SURVIVORS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE which was to be understood as 2 sentences or clauses.
	2:08pm Listener Robert: Rabbit, I stopped watching TV entirely a few yrs. ago, after "Lost" & "Monk".
	🛒 2:08pm Brian in UK: I'm not anti semantic Some of my best friends are words.
	🛒 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Freedom Isn't Free.
	2:12pm V Priceless: it wouldn't surprise me if bowie took some inspiration from Roy's vocal stylings
	2:13pm V Priceless: which, in turn, gets us back to Dylan...
	2:17pm chromaphone: Roy certainly has a lot to say.
	2:17pm Stevel: chromaphone: LOTS of words.
	2:19pm listener james from westwood: @Rev: I watch maybe one or no shows a season now, if there's even such a thing as a season anymore. Looking for Better Call Saul to restart. Will grab it from iTunes. No cable TV; not worth it to me. Far, far more of a radio and podcast listener these days as well as Twitter grazing.
	🛒 2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Some people are trippier w/ just an acoustic guitar than others w/ elaborate production...okay so here's a band...I think Donovan deserves more credit than is generally given (certainly for his influence on T.Rex): he was quite early w/ it - & Syd Barrett was a prototype of Alternative in a band that later became paragons of Classic...Altho' being weird w/ just an Acoustic is surely just a pretty natural occurrence...Incredible String Band are exemplars...FreakFolk & all this...Who was that Aussie who was Syd's doppleganger? I forgot already (shame)...Yes - as The Boss said - what Elvis did for our bodies - Dylan did for our minds...
	2:21pm βrian: Loving Better Call Saul, as well. Kim Wexler's voice makes me giddy.
	2:22pm Jeff Golick: ...and high school PTSD kicks in in 3...2...1...
	2:22pm Dean: I had this nagging sense there was a Siouxsie connection, but I couldn't confirm it.
	2:23pm SeanG: just requested the entire prisoner series from my local library
	🛒 2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Modern life is a journey by car. The Passengers change terribly in their reeking seats, or roam from car to car, subject to unceasing transformation. Inevitable progress is made toward the beginning (there is no difference in terminals), as we slice through cities, whose ripped backsides present a moving picture of windows, signs, streets, buildings. Sometimes other vessels, closed worlds, vacuums, travel along beside to move ahead or fall utterly behind. ...Now - who is that by, FMUvians?
	2:27pm V Priceless: @UM: Didn't they do "The Meeting Place" there too? Great track! Sounds like the 'corrected polarity' version, too!
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: Yes, VP...they did. I had to choose.
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: And yes, this is the corrected polarity.
	2:29pm V Priceless: cool - I was unaware of this being a vid filmed there too..will explore - thx
	2:29pm burke: Hullo, Gaz!
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Burke!
	2:30pm Dean: Pure guessage here, RRN63, but: John Dos Passos?
	2:31pm Alex In Illinois: I know there was a cut by Colourbox called Just Give 'em Whiskey with sound samples from both the Prisoner and the movie Westworld
	2:31pm listener james from westwood: Altered Images!!
	2:32pm Alex In Illinois: This is when Altered Images was more fun.
	🛒 2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Dean: FMU favorite - Jim Morrison.
	2:32pm listener james from westwood: @βrian: Another Kim Wexler/Rhea Seehorn fan here, too. The show hits a spot I didn't know I had.
	2:33pm SeanG: @rrn63 Ballard?
	2:33pm SeanG: haha
	2:33pm Dean: Geez, wow. Never woulda guessed. Was about to suggest it has a little DeLeuze/Guattari to it, too.
	🛒 2:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I shoulda waited for more guesses...
	2:35pm geezerette: UM, Audio Deja Vu! Cheers from Socal.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: geezerette! Rev!
	2:37pm Dean: There's another HDT show theme: Songs Inspired by A Thousand Plateaus. For a day when you're only allotted ten minutes. Even then, a tough bill to fill, I suspect.
	2:39pm melinda: Here for the last 21 minutes!
	2:39pm V Priceless: @RRN63: David Thomas of Ubu continues to carry the 'forgotten highways and ghost towns' torch with much poetic aplomb
	2:40pm Listener Robert: I should've mentioned that "Lost" itself referenced "The Prisoner" in a couple of brief & subtle ways. One was a visual quote, where the character the fans called Benry (played by Michael Emerson) pushed aside the clothes in his closet. The other was a thematic allusion to "The Chimes of Big Ben", in that Big Ben could be heard on the sound track, just to remind the audience that "Lost" could make things appear to be happening anytime, anywhen, and it's really some other time or place; "Lost" hammered that point home many ways, but most of the audience didn't give it enough respect, because it's so contrary to conventional exposition.
	2:41pm Alex In Illinois: I recall this tune being in the last episodes.
	2:42pm listener james from westwood: will be taking you mobile for the last chunk. so saying a big thank-you now for the captivating (har) theme show!
	2:43pm geezerette: I am not a number! I am an avatar! :)
	2:44pm Alex In Illinois: My favorite number of the alphabet is purple.
	2:45pm Parq: I was out of the room -- what's the connection between the show and "Dry Bones"?
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Parq, in the episode Fall Out, it features in #48's trial.
	2:48pm Dean: I am not a numbskull!
	2:48pm Alex In Illinois: . . . in the last episide, when #2, #6 and #48 (?) are in that truck cage, driving down the highway, and a car passes them playing the song on the radio, the 3 of them start singing it and dancing.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: The actual record is heard in the earlier episode that features #48, I believe.
	2:52pm Daddy-o Dilly: Really enjoying today's program. I watched "The Prisoner"'s first American broadcast on CBS in 1968. I immediately fell in love with the series and have remained a life long fan. The DVD set is a must.
	2:52pm Listener Robert: Actually MOST of "Lost" was based on British predecessor material.
	2:52pm Parq: For the record, I didn't really understand the show in its original release, and I watched only a few episodes, mostly because I dug how weird it was.
	2:54pm Daddy-o Dilly: I've always been satisfied with the idea that Number 6 was John Drake from "Danger Man"/"Secret Agent". Entirely arguable, however.
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:56pm SeanG: gracias UM!
	2:57pm SeanG: LOVE
	2:57pm burke: Thanks, UM. Be seeing you.
	2:58pm Daddy-o Dilly: The very idea that a show this challenging would be a Summer replacement for "The Jackie Gleason Show"!!!
	2:58pm V Priceless: thanx, Uncle M! Great show!
	2:58pm Alex In Illinois: I was 4 in 1968, so my experience was more like Uncle Michael's, where I had some quasi recollection of a white balloon chasing people, then when our local PBS affiliate started replaying it in the late 1970's, was like: "Oh, that's what I saw"
	🛒 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Beatles' ditty - used in the Last Episode - reminds me of how similar that was to 'The President's Analyst' w/ James Coburn, in many ways...
	2:59pm geezerette: thanks for the "Love", UM !
	2:59pm Daddy-o Dilly: I was 14 years old during the original broadcast. I ate this show up just like Star Trek and the Twilight Zone.
	3:00pm Parq: Sometimes I can't believe the 60s really happened. Great show, UM. I was really intrigued by the idea and you pulled it off splendidly.
	3:00pm Alex In Illinois: I have only seen 'The President's Analyst' once! It was played on TV like once, then I have never seen it repeated. We were talking about it in school the next school day.
	3:01pm Daddy-o Dilly: And that had to have been the first use of an actual Beatles record in a soundtrack other than the Beatles own movies.
	3:01pm Listener Robert: I too saw it on CBS in 1968 & again in '69. The only reason #6 isn't explicitly Danger Man (Secret Agent Man) is that they didn't have the rights to that character! But they did what they could to imply it.
	3:02pm Listener Robert: I saw "The President's Analyst" in the theater too when it came out. It was my favorite movie for decades. Now I feel soooo old!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!!
	🛒 3:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yer gonna take Meghans's job on the Themes here, UM! Nice job. Be seeing you.
	3:04pm Daddy-o Dilly: McGoohan owned the production company that made The Prisoner. He owned the series. In a book about the show I read that by the mid 1970s the series made the break-even point and started making a profit. All gravy after that. A good investment, indeed. It was Patrick's money invested in the series.
	3:06pm Listener Robert: McGoohan owned "The Prisoner". He did not own "Secret Agent".
	3:34pm The Schizoid Man: O M G ! I love "The Prisoner." I'll have to check out this show. For now, seeing the playlist and reading the comments, I'll say it appears the episodes are at archive.org . Watch every exhaustive hour on YT uploaded by Pmg6portmeiron, of behind-the-scene interviews with anybody still around who had worked on the show, put together for a documentary - including how McGoohan persisted to iron out the theme . . . An earlier version of the ending had the pennyfarthing wheel morph into the globe ang go "POP!" . . . See: https://www.youtube.com/user/Pmg6portmeirion/videos
	5:02pm The Schizoid Man: There's also a 94-minute Prisoner documentary in here done for the series' 40th anniversary https://archive.org/details/@the_village
	9:14pm Joe R.: Fun show! Jazz clarinetist Don Bryon has an album and instrumental called "You Are #6" too. https://open.spotify.com/track/2HvZxdxnQ1vJzT3zAZy9Vb
