I guess I'm the rare person who doesn't like "The Prisoner" at all. I find it dull, repetitive, and it's totally humourless.

There's bundles of humour in The Prisoner...

... and bundles of style in The Saint. What's Kim Newman on about?

He means there's even more of those things in The Avengers!

Though I still can't recall anything humourous in The Prisoner! But I suppose I have only watched Ep1 recently after I was talking about when we visited Portmerion.

I understand that, but it still narks me. Possibly because of the disparaging comments he made about the TK season and TNA, elsewhere. Or possibly because Kim Newman narks me - and the 'psuedo-eccentric' way he dresses.

Has anybody been in contact with Optimum regarding the issue with The Gravediggers? I watched it last night and although there is very little dialogue in the last 8 minutes, it would be nice to have a issue-free disc.
