The Avengers AND The Prisoner on BBCAmerica

[MaineDem]

Starting tonight... The Avengers, The Saint, and the Prisoner (from Episode 1). Without BBC America I'm not sure I'd ever watch tv!

1. I don't get BBC AMerica. But I do have several episodes of..

The Saint on vhs.

[AspenRose]

2. I love all three shows

too bad we don't have cable.

You're talking Roger Moore as the Saint, and not that early 80's "Return of the Saint" with Ian Ogilvy, right?

[Kahuna]

3. Roger Moore was a major cutie pie during The Saint. Whew!..

Every bit as fine as Cary and Rock. :eyes:

5. Emma Peale saw me through puberty...

I'm surprised I turned out as normal as I did...

11. Emma Peale? Who's Emma Peale?

:evilgrin:

[Bat Boy]

15. Now that there's a woman and a half!

Take your Paris Hilton, take Jessica Simpson, you can have Anna Nicole Smith (most likely).

Second only to my wife, Emma Peale is a real woman.

RRRRarf!

[mongo]

6. yes yes yes yes YES Thanks for the heads up!

Wish I had TIVO.

7. Patrick McGoohan was a hunk!

I love "The Prisoner"-and that Lotus 7 he drives at the beginning!

10. The Prisoner Was Always Too Predictable for Me

not too much fun watching a show where you knew the protagonist would be fucked at the end of every episode.

12. Patrick McGoohan is the coolest guy who ever lived

Secret Agent Man - The Prisoner

be seeing you :hi:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

13. The Prisoner is a true television classic

I haven't seem it since 1979 or so, when one of the Yale film societies ran midnight showings of an episode per week, and from what I've seen so far, it still holds up well.

14. Yes! Finally

Don't get me wrong, I dearly love those endless marathons of Changing Rooms, Ground Force, and When Changing Rooms Met Ground Force,, but it's nice to see that BBCA is finally using its resources to get decent shows...
