# I have one of the soundtrack CDs.
The Cat and Mouse Nightclub Band music is one of the funniest tracks I've ever heard.

# The original was pretentious crap in the first place.
Patrick McGoohan admitted to pretty much making it up as he went along and not knowing what it meant.

# ?
The point was that it made no sense, or that it was pretentious?
Either way, no reason to be precious about some TV show from 40 plus years ago.
Not that I watched the new one.

# It hardly counts as sacrilege,
it was just a pointless thing to remake. Come up with your own ideas, TV people!

The point was that it made no literal sense, and anything metaphorical is pretentious to some people.

# Fair enough. But expecting original thinking from tv producers is a big ask these days :)

# He knew well what it meant,
the problem is he couldn't explain what it meant, because he didn't think it in words. The show itself is the only way he could express it. "It means what it is."

# It also didn't help that Lew Grade pulled out of funding the show
The were suppossed to do two series of 13.
But in the end McGoohan had to wrap everything in about 4 episodes, what would have been the 2nd series.
