This Channel 4 continuity card has haunted me since 1983. I always thought it looked like something Terry Gilliam might have come up with. I half expected McGoohan's eyes to start darting about, his jaw to drop open, and something Monty Python-ish to ensue. Perhaps McGoohan's head would bounce off his shoulders and chase Rover around the screen!
Quite gave me the heebie-jeebies, it did. Still does, in fact.

[P] Some might think I'm being erroneously dramatic with my comparisons of 1967's The Prisoner to the neurodivergent experience, but am I really?
https://communitylivingmagazine.com/i-escaped-from-hospital/
This poor lady had her own experience with that, as have many in various institutions, some being genuinely nightmarish. Like the Judge Rotenberg Center, for example. The parallels are uncanny. A hiverarchian world is a cruel one.

[P] And for those who didn't read that chain of toots? 1967's The Prisoner is an allegory for an autistic person living in a neuroenshittified, hiverarchian world. Why? All of the humans there who aren't lradership are hiverarchian homunculi who're addicted to fitting in, loathing otherness, and detesting questions. The leadership of The Village's hiverarchy is comprised of ASPD monsters. A microcosm of reality.

I’ve been watching “The Prisoner” on the #CriterionChannel. I’d only ever seen a few episodes on old VHS copies. It looks fantastic remastered.
It’s such a masterfully weird show about surveillance and individuality.
Anyway, I’m only on ep 4, but happy to discuss #ThePrisoner with folks.
Be seeing you. 👌🏻

Back in 1982, I'd just returned from a trip to Portmeirion when I switched on the television and saw an advert for ITV's Best of British season featuring a snippet from the opening titles of The Prisoner.
My first thought was, "What a coincidence!" My second was, "Please don't let it be The Girl Who Was Death."
So, naturally, they showed The Girl Who Was Death. Quite possibly the least representative episode they could have chosen. 44 years ago today.

Try watching "The Prisoner". It's a short series, but a truly classic one. Filmed (although they don't admit it until the final episode) in Portmeirion. Well, the interiors were filmed in a studio.The Internet Archive has most or all of it. Here's a link to the first episode.
https://archive.org/details/the_prisoner_dvd1_1967
Oh, YouTube seems to have the whole series too.
