In the book 'The Prisoner' the bouncing balls were color coded for specific function: ground based guardian, flying guardian, amphibious guardian, and so forth. The white robots were the only ones that could kill. (Which they did by digesting the victim; leaving only metal parts behind. Ugh!) I guess they decided to make them all white in the series. Or am I missing something, due to a black and white tv? Shouldn't we move this to net.tv before the drwho-but-not-prisoner fans get vicious? -- Ron Christian (Watkins-Johnson Co.
