It Takes “The Village”

Television historian Ed Robertson reports that the subject of “a special pre-recorded edition of Talking Television with Dave White,” to be broadcast this evening on KSAV “global radio,” will be 80-year-old actor Patrick McGoohan.

Spymaster Wes Britton co-hosts the program along with Dave White. Joining them will be Roger Langley, author of Patrick McGoohan: Danger Man or Prisoner. Besides discussing The Prisoner, we’ll talk about McGoohan’s impact on Columbo, plus a whole lot more. Broadcast airs from 10:30-midnight ET (7:30-9 p.m. PT) on www.ksav.org.

Britton, by the way, is the author of three non-fiction books: Spy Television (2004), Beyond Bond: Spies in Fiction and Film (2005), and Onscreen and Undercover: The Ultimate Book of Movie Espionage (2006). You can find out more about him here.
