Roger Goodman founded "Six of One" in 1976, the long running appreciation society dedicated to Patrick McGoohan's enigmatic TV series, The Prisoner.
In 1979 he interviewed McGoohan on the last day of his filming The Hard Way in Ireland. Initially released in an edited format on cassette in 1981, it was subsequently reissued in full on CD in 2002. This landmark conversation between McGoohan and Goodman has long been regarded as the best Patrick Mcgoohan interview ever.
In 1982 Roger organised McGoohan's only ever personal appearance amongst his fans at the recording of the TV show Greatest Hits 1968. During the mid -1980s he discussed "The Prisoner" as Ludovic Kennedy's guest on Did You See? and appeared with McGoohan, George Markstein, David Tomblin, and Jack Shampan in the Channel 4 Documentary Six Into One: The Prisoner File.
Roger retired from Six of One in 1985, but emerged in 2000 as the founder of PRIZBIZ (www.priz.biz). Projects include Prisoner related recordings, publications, roadshows, seminars, and rousers. Most recently he assisted with material on the Carlton Prisoner 35th Anniversary DVD.
Originally from Herefordshire, he now lives in North Wales, not too far from Portmerion, the location for much of The Prisoner's 1966 and 1967 filming.
