Portmeirion - the psychedelic side of wales

There should really be some sort of war crimes tribunal for people involved in making stuff like that.

The A-Team and Knight Rider were excellent!

Steve, if you don't mind me asking, what age are you? From some of your comments, I'm guessing (Barry aside), you're older than us.

I used to watch Kight Rider as well: a talking, self-driving and stylish looking car, what more could one ask? :lol:

I don't mind you asking, I'm sixty eight and a half :) So yes, I'll be older than most of you. Most of my adult life I've been the oldest, almost all of my mates, also my youngest brother, have all been 11 years younger than me. The latest being Macca I think. Oh and Anita of course. All 11 years. It's uncanny.

Lol, thanks for that. You're just as old as the woman you feel, eh?;)

Yes, KIT. I've still got a boxed Matchbox model of it:)

Marco.

You mean KITT ('Knight Industries Two Thousand'). The car itself was a Pontiac Trans AM.

There was a later series shown around 2000, for which KITT conveniently stood for 'Knight Industries Three Thousand'. I don't know if it was ever shown in UK.

Anyway by then the Hoff was busy with another very good-looking partner: Pamela Anderson.

Yes, KITT:)

Marco.

There was also a Knight Industries Four Thousand in the Knight Rider 2000 film. Sadly, both film and car were a bit pants.

As to Portmerion, it's on my list to go although I've never seen The Prisoner. A friend likes it, though, but thinks that Number Six is a bit of a thicko, particularly after one early episode where he's trying to find out where in the world he is. As my friend pointed out - the record player in his room has a Garrard turntable and the mains sockets on the wall are all 13A 3-pin Type G, therefore there's a pretty good chance he's in the UK!

Yeah, but they'd made the room a copy of his own, and that kind of attention to detail may have mattered. But from what I remember, it never pissed down in the village, that must have thrown him.

If he'd checked whether his bathwater went the plug hole clockwise or anticlockwise, be could then have discounted half of the world, which would be a start :)
