I hate goodbyes

I just read the news on the BBCs website;

"Prisoner star McGoohan dies at 80"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7829267.stm

I should tell you that when other kids wanted to play at being cops and robbers I wanted to be Carl Kolchak, or Doctor Who or #6. (That probably explains why the other kids never played with me, they never knew what I was talking about.)

Patrick McGoohan's series The Prisoner was a huge part of my imagination when I was growing up. and still is a huge part of my imagination now.

I never met the man but I will miss him just the same.

May he rest in peace.
