joshwritingPatrick McGoohan, was best known to me for his role in The Prisoner, which he created to answer the question of what happens to secret agents when they try to retire.
He'd played John Drake on the show Secret Agent (They've given you a number, and taken away your name...), where he worked first for NATO and then the British agency M9:

This inspired the later show, The Prisoner:

It was a brilliant series and probably the most surreal weekly show to ever have been shown on broadcast television.

Goodbye, Number Six. May you be chased no more.
