I was just watching the directors commentary on “The Prisoner” DVD, and they referenced that one of the actors went on to be the voice of Bill and Ben, The Flower Pot Men. Well, I did a little digging, and I found out that Bill and Ben, The Flower Pot Men was a British children’s television show, or a segment of a show rather, from the 60’s. It featured two marionettes that are, well, flower pot men. They babble at each other in incoherent gibberish. The whole thing is really excellent. From concept to intro music. When is Timbaland gonna sample that theme song? Only time will tell.
