Just because there wasn't PROGress (escape) didn't mean the story didn't progRESS.

I am thankful PM is alive to at least have the opportunity to be involved.

As far as the Number of Episodes, Six is fine. Even Patrick McGoohan said the original series was only planned as seven episodes but extended it to 17 to make it more "sellable" to the networks. I just hope they manage to get this right. It's been through so many stops & starts and considering how influencial the original was, I'm all for anything that can help introduce more people to it. So whoever is working on this, do your Village proud! Be Seeing You!

Location is in a strange village in Africa, that looks completely out of place for africa, but is surrounded by desert.

yes I ahve information, and I am willing to share some of what I know wiothout getting into too much trouble, but either no one believes me, or no one is interested.

What I ahve said in past is, that wehn I was involved in this no one was cast, but they wanted different people, so I can not copmment on actors in any way, Script, Scenery, hidden gems, I have some knowledge on.

Its hard to say from reading only one script, I know the producers were very happy with the script. But it took ages for the final draft to come in.

I think JC is probable or else they would not be reporting it, when I was involved no one had been cast at all, they reied Ecclestone and that ghuy, forget his name from 300 Leonidas, they also fooloshly tried Daniel Craig, and also the guy who was the baddie in Die another die was a consideration at one point, but this was all over a year ago.

I dont like the idea of JC either.

Oh and McGoohan cant be dead because they have approached him about doing a cameo, my tip is for him to be one of the numbers 2's in one of the shows. Or ultimately he is number 1.

I dont like idea of JC either, so I hope thats wrong

McGoohan was in no way consuklted or paid for the mkaing of this show that I know of, they were beginning talks to have him cameo at some point, no other involvement.

Script was start to finish done by the new writer alone.

This will be different from the original people, its not a remake, i.e. Anvil into Hammer etc, its the basic principla of a spy guys caught iand in a village with everyone being numbers, he is number 6, there is a different number 2 every week etc, but thats where the similiarities end, I am not even sure if the big ball is coming back, but I heard hints that it would be there, but that might have changed in the last year.

African location is really cool looking and all I can say as some spoiler is " What's underneath the village".

Thats pretty much all the info that I can verify or correct without taking too many risks as I had so sign a non disclosure agreement. I have not read all six scripts as I said, only the one and it was not episode 1, thinmk it was episode 2.

tis wont have the weird surral parts that old one did i.e. they dont walk about village in super colour clothes doing weird stuff, they have jobs like Mechanics and stuff.

It will deffo be more LOST than the original and more srious

Ta ta

I do actually agree with you on your second point though, that would be really interesting to see McKellen as Number 6 I think, but that will definitely not happen, the only reason McKellen is there is because its a dif number 2 every week, they could not afford McKellen as number 6 trust me, budget is poor for this, typical UK TV budget, being croos funded in the States.

as said I know they wanted McGoohan to have a cameo, but apprently he is total bonkers, so they were not sure if they could get him, wonder what part they had in mind for him, nobody told me anyhoo....

Would love to see him in it as a guest number 2, or even the eventual number 1 would be cool

But I do think they may have missed an opportunity to ahve someone like MCkellen be the actual nmber 6 though, as Caviziel does not fill me with confidence
