The Laughing Prisoner

[solipsistnation]

So while reading about The Prisoner, I encountered a reference to "The Laughing Prisoner," a spoof sort of thing featuring Jools Holland, Stephen Fry (as Number Two), and Hugh Laurie, among others.

Here's the first part:

The second part, astonishingly, includes Siouxsie and the Banshees doing "The Passenger" (at about 1:15):

It's pretty silly:

I actually haven't watched it all, but poking around reveals lots of silly Stephen Fry things. He would have been a pretty awesome Number Two for reals.

That was most excellent.

As I recall, it was a themed episode of The Tube, which was generally well worth watching.
