    You've piqued my desire to pay a personal visit. The Village shown here is far more colorful and lovely than I remember from the small screen of a black and white television. I love the various ways they paid homage to McGoohan and his unforgettable production. Be seeing you!

    Absolutely great. I really enjoyed this. I visited Portmeirion myself last year after watching The Prisoner for the first time. It completely bowled me over in terms of how unique and original it was; way ahead of its time. Walking around Portmeirion was a great experience and discovering many of the places from the series. Watching your wonderful video only brought it all back to me. It's a place that I'm sure I'll visit again very soon.

    Very well done indeed. You managed to make reference to many of the episodes. The photos of the village are very nice, I have no idea how you managed to take them without tourists. Perhaps fewer people know its significance these days. Thank you for a delightful upload.

      Julian Barnes thank you very much for your lovely comment. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. The trick is to hold one's breath when the gas is being piped into the guest rooms and then escape either just before sunset or very early in the morning the beat the large 'numbers' of visitors walking around during the day x

    I am absolutely D-LIGHT-ed you made this video the clever way you did. Especially enjoyed seeing the London locations used in the 60s series, "The Prisoner." It was a treat to see other views of Portmeirion too, such as the Asian bridge and the pet cemetery. No. 2 would say, "BRILLIANT! WELL DONE!!." I say, "Show us more, please and thank you.

Fun stuff. Thanks for making and sharing. Be seeing you. P.S. - my wife came in as I was playing this and was sure I was listening to Jodie Whittaker as the new Dr. Who - then she was wondering what the Doctor was doing in the Village?!! :) Now there's a crossover for you.
