I've seen it, yeah. It was kind of chilling. Was it also meant to be a bit funny as well?

McGoo    

Yeah, I used to watch it all the time with my dad.

What a weird little town!!

It was so perfect, because it just had this surreal quality to it and when the white blob came blubbering out to get someone it almost made sense. They used to play the Prisoner on public TV here but they stopped because I think the fan base, rabid though it is, can't compete with the likes of Dr. Who and whatnot. The Prisoner is not exactly easy to get into.

  EDIT: Funny...yeah, in a bleak way.

Have a look on the search engine for Port Meirion, Tenk. I've been there, and it's exactly how it was shown in the series.

 I think it was supposed to be a bit funny, but - like Queen Victoria - I was not amused.

St. Patrick smoked?

[tenkani]

Woah, Portmeirion has a REALLY nice Web site!!

Annual Prisoner convention, yeah, makes sense.

I'm still not sure whether people actually live there.

I mean, they have cottages and a hotel for visitors, but are there private residences?

[Gopher]

I wondered about this as well. By the way, was the website you came across bilingual (English/Welsh?)    

[tenkani]

If "Cymraeg" is welsh then yeah

  Great language! I like the name of that town, Llanfair, etc.

 Knew a lady that was from there. She said the sign on the train station was longer than the building.

"Ei nod oedd dangos fod modd datblygu safle prydferth heb ei"   My cat types in the same language when she runs across the keyboard.

[Gopher]

Yes, but can she speak as well as type?

 You can buy souvenir tickets from the railway station.
