A series of six programmes. 2: Portmeirion
Many who see this fantastic village for the first time wonder if they have not walked straight on to a film set, and with good reason: the famous TV series The Prisoner was shot in Portmeirion.
Sir Hugh Casson 's first visit was many years ago. when it was still an overgrown plantation. He has seen this architectural dream-village grow slowly over the years out of wild terrain, and in this film he explores the place which still delights him and talks of his friend and architectural colleague SIR CLOUGH WILLIAMS-ELLIS , the man who conceived and built , it.
Film cameraman COLIN WALDECK
