Cool! I didn't know there was a remake coming out, but more importantly I now know where I can watch the original episodes online.

I loved that show when it was new; still do. I'm not sure why.. it's a mighty strange series. I've had the entire box set of VHS tapes for years, and watch them still from time to time.

I've been watching the new version develop on Six of One.(com) for awhile. Should be interesting!

The Lotus was the best part of that show.

I remember reading that McGoohan used it because they loaned it to him for free, which makes sense since the other $20 they had for a budget was spent on weather balloons and synthesizer music to make those weather balloons seem sinister.

No Lotus in the preview for the new one. Just a Renault Dauphine and some Eastern European cars. Can anybody identify the roadster?
