NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! No offence to Ecclestone, but The Prisoner was such a unique moment in television history that I simply don't trust anyone else to be able to replicate its greatness (which, like most true greatness, came about more or less by accident, having largely been the result of the creative tension between Patrick McGoohan and George Markstein).

Great cast, but maybe a re-imagining too far.
