We're run by Madison Avenue, we're run by television, and as long as we accept those things and don't revolt we'll have to go along with the stream to the eventual avalanche.

Patrick McGoohan about the making and meaning of the 1960's T.V. series "The Prisoner.
YouTube: A very rare interview from Canadian Television circa 1977. Warner Troyer interviews Patrick McGoohan.

 This interview took place in Toronto in 1977 in front of, and with the participation of, a studio audience. The 35-minute program was broadcast on TVOntario, a public television network which had shown The Prisoner series along with commentaries from Troyer from October 1976 to February 1977. 

The Ontario Educational Communications Authority also published a 21-page booklet on The Prisoner called The Prisoner Puzzle. Troyer did commentary after each episode during The Prisoner's run on TVO.

The interview has been reproduced several times over the years, but it's inclusion here is for it's archival value. McGoohan dislikes interviews and an open and detailed discussion such as this is a rarity.

The program  still fuels speculation about Bilderberg Group, New World Order (conspiracy theory), Illuminati et all.
