RIP, Patrick McGoohan

As young lover of all things BBC, The Prisoner broke my brain. While I loved him in everything he did, it's Number Six I keep coming back to time and again.

Mr. McGoohan was evidently a pretty cool dude in real life. when Iron Maiden wanted to do a song based on The Prisoner he not only allowed them to do so, but provided the audio snippet from the intro.

So. In his honor, we present a special Heavy Metal Sunday.

Wow, and I made a casual Prisoner reference in conversation just yesterday...

It's a shame, but hey, he left a legacy that new generations will go "wtf" at for ages to come.
