After not having seen it for so long it looks dated and arch. It's quite a time capsule of the 60s! And I loved Patrick McGoohan. He's still around, though from his IMDb page it loos as though he hasn't been working for about five years.

The Doctor and Martha lands in Berwick-upon-Tweed just as the place is about to be sacked by the bloodthirsty Edward I, who is in reality a brain-sucking vampire bat from the planet Wall Street. But then again, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. The House passes the TARP, but the Vogons decide to bulldoze the economy anyway. Ford recognizes the writing on the wall, after all "YOU ARE HERE" is the international sign of the end of the world.

He then read his Guide which told him "1296" is THE answer (despite knowing that 42 is THE REAL answer to the universe). He read his instructions and stayed put, awaiting further instruction or a different message to appear on one of the other colors on the wall.<BR/><BR/>Inside, he was screaming though.
