I have been there. The whole town consists of an architects fantasy of a period Italian town. Some of the buildings are just frontages, i.e. no complete buildings. They just look good. Number TWO's front door actually opens onto a sheer rock face. I understand that *they* now run the town as an exclusive hotel. And yes, number SIX's house does exist right where you see it in the series. ***SPOILER**** If I can recall, when I saw the original Prisoner series in England, number SIX is number ONE. Confused? Well that's how the series ended all those years ago. P.S. What do you mean, that it rarely rains and is never cold in the village. I assume you don't know Wales in the winter. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | Mike "answer the British questions" Pearce ..!ihnp4!whuxl!map | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
