It was the summer replacement for "The Jackie Gleason Show" and it only took me 2 minutes to get over my disappointment that I wasn't going to see Ralph and Norton slugging it out all summer and got hooked on "The Prisoner." It was Ron Grainer's theme music that got me first, and then the thought-provoking, agonizing storylines.

Apparently there were two series of "The Prisoner" and ITV eventually 
pulled it, presumably because the plots were getting threadbare--too 
much reciting of nursery rhymes to my recollection. The "Melody Maker" 
of the time reports this.
