Kaleidoscope, the vintage television appreciation group, joined with Six of One (The Prisoner Appreciation Society) to present a celebration of the early television work of Patrick McGoohan. All the programmes we showed were made in the nineteen-fifties or early sixties before his meteoric rise to TV stardom in Danger Man and The Prisoner.
Kaleidoscope is a voluntary, non profit-making organisation of dedicated television enthusiasts. Entrance to the event was FREE, but voluntary donations to our supported charity, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, were welcomed.
Doors Open.

Introduction.
11.40 - 12.35
"The Greatest Man In The World"
This 1958 segment from Armchair Theatre features Patrick McGoohan
in an award-winning performance as the first man on the moon.
12.40 - 13.40
"This Day In Fear"
In this BBC play from Television Playwright, Patrick stars as James Coogan,
a peace-loving architect who the "Fighters Of Ireland" believe is responsible
for the death of one of their leaders.
14.00 - 15.00
"The Man Out There"
Another Armchair Theatre segment, in which Patrick again plays
an astronaut, orbiting the earth in a tense battle for survival.
15.00 - 15.25
"The Outcast"
In this episode from ITC's 1956 series The Adventures Of Sir Lancelot,
Patrick guest stars as the less-than-chivalrous Sir Glavin.
15.30 - 17.00
"Brand"
No introduction is surely needed for the greatest of McGoohan's stage performances,
transferred to television by the BBC in August 1959 as part of World Theatre.
17.00
Close.
