 No Portmeirion for new Prisoner
 
Fans of cult TV series The Prisoner are disappointed a planned remake is
unlikely to be shot in its unique original setting, the Italianate north
Wales village of Portmeirion. 
The village became known worldwide as the site of the classic 1960s
series.
Sky plans a new run inspired by the original, which starred Patrick
McGoohan as a trapped ex-secret agent.
Roger Langley, of appreciation society Six of One, said it was difficult
to imagine it being set anywhere else.
 The Prisoner ran for only 17 episodes on ITV from 1967, but inspires
fanatical devotion and helps attracts some of the village's 250,000
annual visitors.
In the series, Patrick McGoohan was unable to escape Portmeirion, which
was populated by a brainwashed population held captive by a mysterious
regime.
The prisoners were known only by numbers and McGoohan's character was
famously called Number Six.
   There's nowhere else like Portmeirion on earth  
Roger Langley, Six of One
There were no bars or barbed wire, but massive balloons would smother
anyone attempting to escape.
The series was shown in more than 60 countries throughout the world.
"It's very disappointing news that they've ruled it out at such an early
stage," said Mr Langley.
"Most people who remember The Prisoner remember that strange place where
Number Six was and the landscape and architecture of Portmeirion.
"You can't duplicate the visual attraction. You know it's a real place -
you felt you were there. You could identify with the character being
held there.
"There's nowhere else like Portmeirion on earth."
The fan club is supporting the proposed remake, however.
"We want it to succeed. If something as good as that can be made we
would certainly welcome it."
"But they probably won't get anywhere quite like Portmeirion," he added.
The Portmeirion setting would hit the cutting room floor in the new
series, according to Broadcast magazine.
The producers of the new series said they were aiming for a "radical
reinvention" of the series and intended to take "liberties with the
original".
But they said the themes of paranoia, conspiracy and identity crisis
would remain.
A spokesman for Sky One said it was too early to say for certain what
would happen with the series, which was still in the commissioning
stage.
In May, a plaque was unveiled in Portmeirion by actress Fenella
Fielding, who provided the unseen Village Voice, to honour the series.

architectural styles
