Ooh! Ooh! Spy stuff! Nerd-alicious! O.K. if we accept that John Drake was actually the guy who turned up in the village in The Prisoner, then in a philosophical sense he sums up the whole 60's spy experience for everyone because he represented the everyman and his struggle to exist as an individual... which I suppose is at the root of the whole paranoid fantasy thing that is the 60's spy experience.

If we're picking the favorite character Mine is top professional, John Steed. (Emma was only a talented amateur) Did you know he throunced James Bond back at Eton when they were school boys? Apparently James was a bully who used to make the underclassmen stir his hot chocolate against their wills. (Hope that isn't some kind of euphemism!)

For sheer enjoyment my votes go to Maxwell Smart and Lancelot Link just because.

Emma and I have a special relationship so just back off buddy!

But if you're really bored.....check out my web site: http://www.spyboproyale.com for more information about music from 60's spy flicks than you EVER wanted to know!

Be Seeing You!
