	In the current issue of Vanity Fair there is an interview with
sex-historian Camile Paglia.  In the opening paragraphs her style of
argumentation is described "like the Patrick MacGoohan's head making a
beeline towards the camera during the opening credits of The Prisoner" (my
paraphrase).

	I just realized something, didn't someone here say that XO4 (or
	X oh 4)was a name that may have referred to the Prisoner?
	Well, if we remember that X = 10 in roman numerals, and 10 - 4
	= 6.  Does this mean anything?  Who knows, but I thought I'd

	Sorry, if this has been mentioned before.

And BBC is showing the entire old StarTrek series. WHY oh WHY
can't they pay money and produce good *new* stuff.

I saw Blade Runner recently on tv. No one has done a better 
film than that for ages. 

I can't think of anything in the Prisoner's league. Not just better
or worse, but nothing at all.

:(

Oh for loads of money to make good sf films and tv again.

Apparently the number "7" never appears _anywhere_ in the village. If
you look at 6's credit card, the "Free Information" board etc. all the
places where a number containing the digit 7 would have appeared are
spaces or strange numbers like 2a.

Anyone like to advance a theory why this is? Here's my two:

a) Since 6 and 1 are ultimately the same, you can't have both at once.
b) Nobody could go "one better" than number 6!

Do excuse me if this has been extensively debated a while back; I'm new
here.

Be seeing you.

"The Prisoner" by Iron Maiden
[Smith/Harris]

On the run kill to eat
You're starving now you're dead on your feet
Going all the way nature's beast
Do what I want as I please

Run fight to breate it's tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls I'm coming out

Not a prisoner I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going . . . out

If you kill me it's self defense
If I kill you I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye I will defy
You'll be afraid when I call out your name

I'm not a number I'm a free man
I'll live my life how I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
Cause I'll run rings around you

[Note:  The beginning sequence of this song is a sampled portion of the 
television show, 'The Prisoner'.  It goes as follows:
   
        Who are you?
        The new number two.
        Who is Number One?
        You are Number Six.

Rummaging around Olsson's Books and Records in Bethesda, MD sometime around
September 1990 or so, I found The Prisoner (original television soundtrack).

It was done by Silva Screen Records:
	261 Royal College Street
	London NW1 9LU England
	01-284 0525

The disk is copyright 1989, so I expect it should still be being pressed.

For information, write to Department SO of the company and enclose either a
SAE (if in the UK) or an International Reply Coupon, available at a US Post
Office.  I found it on disk.  I think there is another disk out there but it
is mono only.  The disk I have is stereo.  It has 26 tracks, including the 
original Ron Grainer theme as well a track called "Chimes" which was the
initial choice for the Main Title Theme.  The episodes represented in the
disk collection are Arrival, A,B, & C, Free For All, The General, Fall Out,
Many Happy Returns, Dance of the Dead, Checkmate, Hammer Into Anvil, The Girl
Who Was Death, and Once Upon A Time.  

Grainer's theme for The Prisoner came from a prior, harpsichord-instrumented
work called "The Age of Elegance."  Grainer also did similar musical work
for the film "The Omega Man."

We figured that the summer was just a trial season.  90210 reruns begin on
Wednesday night next week (a two hour "movie"), which supports that.  My guess
is that now that MP has established itself, Fox will move it to some other
time slot, allowing _The Heights_ to follow 90210 in the upcomming fall
season, allowing IT to mooch off of 90210's popularity too.

The older daughter (the blonde) on Roseanne had sex with her boyfriend
(used "protection") and then asked her mother to go with her to the doctor
to get birth control pills for her.

Sometimes it is much better for people to stay friends.  Especially
in the kind of society we live it.  It is not easy to have true good friends
and we are all humans sometimes it's hard to fight off your emotional
stimulations and that is what eventually happened betwwen Alison and Jake.

Well Broadway or anywhere else... to be on the top doesn't mean
everything.  Sure if one is materialistic yeah go for it.  But the point
that Melrose place was trying to make is to bring back the values
of friendship that many people don't seem to care anymore as long as
they can earn lots of money and ignore their friends.
