'Prisoner' Remake Ready to Roll

British satellite channel Sky One is embarking on a remake of the cult-classic show "The Prisoner." The new series, slated to run for six episodes, would likely premiere sometime next year, 40 years after the original debuted on ITV. Rumors of a new series have been percolating for some time, but Sky One didn't greenlight the project until this week. Several reports in the British press say Christopher Eccleston -- who starred in a revival of another cult favorite, "Doctor Who" -- is in line to play Number 6.

There are few Prisoner fans greater than I, and I'm holding judgement. You never know... it could be good.

Doctor Who for a year, Number 6 the next one.

I really have to wonder - what will he do next year?

I put about as much stock in this as the folks who thought Lucy Lawless was going to play Wonder Woman, because, you know, woman warrior and all. Having Eccleston come in to magically resussitate a second cult series? How likely is that? I tough the whole thing in disbelief.
