    Agreed. (I'd forgotten that there was a new Number 2 each episode. Just seen 'Checkmate' with a very camp Peter Wyngarde).

This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    Prisoner fans,
    Get yourself down to "The Village" in Portmerrion.
    Great day out, went a couple of years ago.


    Letting go and relaxing
    is the most ‘in control’ thing you can do
