McGoohan and Me

Patrick McGoohan, with TS, 1984 

Patrick McGoohan

Patrick McGoohan has been a particular obsession of mine. Between 1977 and 2001, I wrote a number of articles on the TV program The Prisoner and its star Patrick McGoohan  (I would subsequently write about the man and his work in both of my books).
