Cult TV series from the 60s, starring Patrick McGoohan?, who played the main character, NumberSix? (never given another name). NumberSix? is a British spy/secret service agent who at the start of the series resigns from his job (in quite a rage, in fact). He goes home, is gassed, falls asleep and wakes up in a mysterious village where he is held prisoner and the people in charge (NumberTwo?, principally) try to work out why he quit. Their nationality and the location of the village is unknown. NumberSix? stubbornly refuses to divulge any information. He goes through a multitude of NumberTwo?s, reducing some to tears, in his attempts to thwart them/escape. Some episodes are weirder than others; it's not just a spy series. Attains Utena CurryEpisode levels of weirdness at times.
Now being remade/reimagined in America: [Trailer].
