CULT television show The Prisoner celebrated its 50th anniversary over the weekend.

To celebrate the anniversary, some of the original cast of the cult TV show made an appearance in Portmeirion, including Peter Wyngarde, Jane Merrow and Fenella Fielding.

Catherine McGoohan, daughter of the programme’s star, Patrick, was also there to unveil a statue of her father.

The actor who played Number Six in the 1960s series was immortalised in bronze by the French sculptor Tiziano.

Catherine, 65, said she was touched by the likeness and felt incredibly proud of her father’s achievements.

Holding back the tears, she said the artist had perfectly captured her father’s spirit – and that her mother, the British actress Joan Drummond, loved the bust and had given it her blessing.

“And that’s huge, so I’d like to thank you for this very special tribute,” she said.

The US-based actress, who has appeared in everything from Columbo to Gilmore Girls, added that she felt McGoohan’s presence in Portmeirion.

“There are two angles where the artist has particularly captured my father so that I see him and feel him here,” she said. “There is sadness behind the eyes and I think it’s about the way the world is turning.

“He saw things ahead of his time and it’s as if he’s sending a warning. I read an article this morning that said how The Prisoner predicted our modern world of digital incarceration. And he saw that 50 years ago.”

Appearing alongside her Hollywood producer husband Cleve Landsberg, she said that Portmeirion was a magical place that helped bring her father’s vision alive.

“Without the village of Portmeirion, I don’t know if you’d have The Prisoner today,” she concluded.
