A fun fact, that is almost on topic.

One of Diana Rigg's last roles was in the series The Detectorists (a great series, worthy of a rainy Sunday watch).

Diana Rigg played the mother to actress Rachael Sterling, who is Diana Rigg's actual daughter. What a great opportunity to collaborate.

Don't ask me why, but I needed to check the lyrics for the classic British kids TV programme Wizbit earlier today and that led me to this short-lived blog from some guy who was making a fancy dress costume in 2010.

One for Brits of a certain age. My age.

The 1967-68 UK TV series Man in a Suitcase takes the basic ITC action-adventure formula and adds a hardboiled flavour, real toughness, grittiness, plus seedy downmarket glamour. And more than a hint of film noir. The best of all the ITC series.

Man in a Suitcase (1967-68), a British ITC action adventure series TV series with a decidedly gritty hardboiled flavour to it. Richard Bradford’s offbeat performance as a bitter ex-CIA agent turned private eye is the highlight.

Much more hard-edged and cynical than most ITC series.
Superb television.

No 60s British TV series is more highly regarded than The Prisoner, at least among fans of action/adventure/spy/science fiction series. And no series has ever engendered such fierce debates about its meaning.

A spy resigns, for reasons that he refuses to reveal. He arrives home, is drugged and wakes up in The Village. A perfectly charming place to live, apart from one thing - it is a prison.
