The basic concept (shown in the lead-in credits every week) was McGoohan plays a &#8220;secret agent&#8221; who angrily resigns from the service, returns to his flat to pack and is gassed through the keyhole. When he awakes and raises the blinds, he discovers he is in a mysterious village, where the folks in charge work him over physically and psychologically to make hime explain why he resigned. The twist (there&#8217;s always a twist!), is that he never knows who runs The Village, if its his side trying to crack him, or the opposition.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOne fun part is during the starting credits he roars through London in the &#8220;car he built himself&#8221;, a Lotus Super Seven.\n<\/p>\n<p> When we went to the Motorcycle Day show in Maryland a few weeks back, I spotted a Super Seven  parked in the shade and went over to take pictures.
