I watched an episode entitled "Colony Three" the other night that I had seen before but before I joined this newsgroup. Secret Agent is great to watch since McGoohan is his typical detached paranoid self. Watched in context with h...

Perhaps if they had ended the series with episode 16, there would have still been questions from viewers, but at least we would have been spared the farce of episode 17. I feel insulted that the series's l...
