THE PRISONER (2009)

I just got to hand it to the makers of The Prisoner ('...a re-imagining of the 60s TV cult classic...'). Compelling / compulsive viewing. Astonishingly to be found on ITV1 in the slot after Britain's Got Talent while potential audience were smoking pot watching BBC4 / Dave / David Lynch DVDs / Youtube.

Totally rocking soundtrack by the bloke who did Bee Movie, some perfect uses of trippy Beach Boys trax and quite the best new version of 'My Funny Valentine' I ever did hear.

Also very amusing spoof website.

Despite all the moaning minnies on the web it's been 6 hours of my time well-spent.
