UFO - The Prisoner

spiffer
Hi everyone,

I posted a message to the group last night but it seems to have
disappeared into the ether. So here is the gist of it again.

The SHADO group seemed to have gone a bit quiet lately. So in an
idle moment, or rather several idle moments when I really should have
been doing more mundane things, I made a search for UFO artists in
episodes of The Prisoner. I have uploaded the results of
this `research' to a new album in the Photos section entitled `UFO –
Prisoner'.

Here is a list of the actors and the Prisoner episodes in which they
appeared:

Michael Billington - A Change Of Mind,

Wanda Ventham - It's Your Funeral,

Derren Nesbitt - It's Your Funeral,

Alexis Kanner - Living In Harmony;
The Girl Who Was Death (uncredited);
Fall Out,

Colin Gordon - A.B. and C;
The General,

Georgina Cookson - A.B. and C;
Many Happy Returns,

Jane Merrow - The Schizoid Man.

Can anyone spot any others?
Is there another series featuring more UFO artists than The Prisoner?

I'd like to bet Doctor Who, the original series of which ran for 26 years, had a fair number:

Wanda Ventham
George Sewell

Nigel Lambert
David Weston
Michael Kilgarriff
Jean Marsh
David Daker
John Levene
Philip Madoc
Philip Latham
Jack May
Adrienne Corri
Louise Pajo
John Stratton
David Collings
Derren Nesbitt
Edwin Richfield
Christopher Robbie...

- and those are just the ones I know from casting my eye over a UFO episodeguide. I'm
sure there's quite a few more.

You must be right Shaqui.

Note to self: Engage brain before posting to SHADO.

I should have thought of Doctor Who myself. Still I enjoyed looking
through the DVDs to capture the screen images.
Now, to do the same with Doctor Who would take a lifetime. Hmm...
There probably isn't enough room in the Photos section for that lot.

Reading this message I was reminded of an article in the SIG fanzine of the80s, which speculated, IIRC, what might have happened to George Sewell's character if his resignation was accepted in Computer Affair and he ended upin the Village:
