Fitting that Portmeirion became a famous film set given that it was designed like one: mostly facades and illusions. Wonderful place, I visited when I was about ten years old and must go back one day. Has to be part of a holiday though as an awkward place for a day trip from home unless you are lucky enough to live nearby.
I remember Jools co-hosting a musical show with jazz legend David Sandborn in the US for 2 years. It was called Micellob presents Sunday Night aka Music Night.
I often wonder how many days filming were interrupted by rain, as in the Prisoner the sun is always shining... something not that common in North Wales!

Jools looks quite attractive here! I've always wanted to visit this place. What a unique piece of history.
One of the most magical wonderful places I've ever visited in the UK
and Snowdonia is extremely beautiful
Marvelous feature from One Foot in the Past.
A super video! Thanks for sharing :)

I remember watching this way back in the 90's, just found it again - did he ever get the studio walls completed?? I MUST know!
Jools walking "The Prisoner" set! Love it!
Cheers eucalyptuspauciflora!

I'm building a shed to look like a castle, anyone have any tips, please?
Lovely Welsh hand craft! And in London. crefftwaith llaw hyfryd o Gymru!
Is Jools the New Number Two? (this is a reference to "The Prisoner")
....that would be telling.
Who is Number One?
You are Number 6.
I am not a Number...I am a Free Man! (and would someday like to visit the real Portmeiron)
bahahahahaha!(and i'd like to do that one day too)

oh I've had many sunny times in North Wales but it did start pouring when I was last at Portmeirion (just as we were leaving)

Here's a the Prisoner saying Be Seeing You. :D
lovely, BUT LEAVE THE FACTORY ALONE IN STOKE
its very tacky, like an ugly little disneyland, only nice parts are the garden plants
Brilliant, did Jools complete his Portmeirion inspired project?
