That's why they chose it for the old series. I'm not sure I want to see what they do with the remake.

The United Kingdom's Sky One is said to be planning a new series inspired by the cult 1960s series The Prisoner, which starred Patrick McGoohan as a former secret agent trapped in an isolated town, the BBC News Web site reported.

The show will not take place in the famous "Village" setting of the original—shot in the north Wales village of Portmeirion—the industry weekly Broadcast reported. But it is understood the themes of paranoia, conspiracy and identity crisis will remain, the BBC reported.

23. Why is the graveyard so close to the water?
Seems like a health hazard, and the water table would make grave digging somewhat soggy, I would think. I'd put it up on the bluffs to the left.
