    Omg what an Episode.. I am a massive Prisoner fan and visited the village a few years back.. Love how you composed the music to represent the original series themes.. Absolutely wonderful 😊

      Thanks Glenn, I remember being especially excited about filming here at the time. I tried to get a flavour of the Prisoner, so yes I played a few of the themes from the series as well as composing my own in the style of that music 👍

    This was brilliant.
    Those twenty minutes have just flown by.
    I knew from those first three notes that the music would be the star of this film,it must have been great fun to do.
    I too used to love the Prisoner,mainly because it was so weird,I'm going to have to go onto RUclips tomorrow evening and watch the Dance of the Dead episode.
    Thank you so much for sharing your day out here with us.
    Pete.

      I was very excited about filming this one whilst I was staying in Snowdonia, so of course I had to feature as many recognisable locations that were in the Prisoner, as well recording my own versions of some of the music that was created for the series. Haven't watched the Prisoner myself for a while now., must dig out my DVD collection :)

      It was an absolute joy spending the day here filming and an easier one me too as I didn't have many miles to walk. I hadn't realised you'd watched this before so thanks for doing so again. This video has gained second highest number of views and that may be down to me forwarding the link to a few Prisoner fan group pages. Thanks for watching again Frank and Lee. Cheers, Patrick :-)

    I have just reached the number 53, and i must say, it's a really beautiful place. It's a pity the series "the Prisoner" did not pass here in Brazil.
    Have a nice day.

    great work. The Prisoner was first fully witnessed for me in the 70's...I was too young for the 60's viewing...but it resonates with me fully..a work of genius.

    • @solitaryrambler
      @solitaryrambler  5 лет назад

    Because of the Prisoner, I took a 1-week vacation from Los Angeles to London in November of 1978. But alas, Portmeirion was "closed" for the winter and too far for my budget travals. I did however see the White Cliffs of Dover and and later Stonehenge. I had a good time in England. Someday I will make it to Portmeirion. Be seeing you.

    Excellent music you arranged and played . I remember watching Danger man ,and the Prisoner in the 60s ,it was the Lotus 7 in the first episode that drew me in ,certainly not the spy stories that I enjoyed but intriguing. Always going to Wales ? but the magnet of England holds me .Oh I did go to Abergele once to pick up a model traction engine, after seeing this video we must visit .Beautifully filmed Patrick .

      I've always been a fan of the Prisoner, so whilst I was staying in Porthmadog for a few days towards the end of 2015 it was a great opportunity to visit and film Portmeirion. I tried to capture the spirit of the series by playing some of the music used in that programme as well as some of my own. Thanks again Stuart. Cheers, Patrick :)

    I've recently watched the Prisoner again, I'm up to the last episode, I think my favourite episode is The Schizoid Man. I've been to Portmeirion once I liked it there, I got a Prisoner shirt from the shop, I presume the shop is still there in 2023.
