The mystery of The Prisoner's No 6 badge from the cult TV series solved?

(Photo from The Prisoner episode 4: Free For All) About a month ago, Malcolm Hardee Comedy Award designer John Ward got in touch with me about cult TV series The Prisoner. He thought he might have the original ‘No 6’ badge which star Patrick McGoohan wore in the series. I wrote a blog about it. Rick Davy of The Unmutual Prisoner and Portmeirion Website has sent this reply which, I think, is just…

"TRAINED TO HANDLE EVERYTHING IN THE IMPERIAL GROUND ARSENAL..."

PIC(S) INFO: Part 2 of 2 -- Spotlight on behind-the-scenes shots of UK actors Paul Jericho and Ian Liston played the Imperial Walker pilots at Elstree Studio, UK, c. 1979

MINI-OVERVIEW: "The Empire’s combat drivers are trained to handle everything in the Imperial ground arsenal, but AT-AT pilots see themselves as elite, controlling their massive four-footed assault vehicles in combat against Rebel targets. While driving early models of their massive walking tanks, AT-AT pilots nearly annihilated the Ghost crew and three surviving clones on Seelos, and later obeyed General Veers’ orders during the Empire’s advance on Hoth’s Echo Base, destroying numerous snowspeeders and blasting apart the Rebels’ ground defenses."

Late April, 1989 - Queen Story!

Queen filmed promo video for “I Want It All” at Elstree Studios, Borehamwood, UK, director David Mallet

"We were heading into the period where we decided to share the credit for all the songs, and John has said that [the song] was pretty much a finished song when we went into the studios – that's true, it was just this riff that I was obsessed with for months. The actual title was a favorite phrase of Anita's, a very ambitious girl: 'I want it all, and I want it now '... We were never able to perform this song live. It would have become something of the staple core of the Queen show, I'm sure, very participatory. It was designed for the audience to sing along to, very anthemic."

I don’t want love and sex and affection. I want someone to listen to me when I say The Buggles only released like eight songs but they all have same vibes as Video Killed the Radio Star and they’re all so good and somebody other than me needs to listen to them.
