Outtakes from “Prisoner #24”


During the filming of the British series “The Prisoner”, and the American series “24”, there occurred a remarkable cinematic accident.   Both shows melded in etherspace, and exchanged DNA.  The resulting bastard was quickly hushed-up;  but our operatives have managed to retrieve a snippet from the cutting-room floor.

Jack Bauer (calling in):  “This is Jack.”
Number Two:  “Ah!  Mr. Bauer.  A pleasure.  It has been a bit of a bother  trying to reach you.  Are you quite all right, old sport?”
Jack: “Yeh, I’m fine.  But all the members of the back-up team have been killed.”
Number Two:  Good, good, you’re fine;  that’s the main thing. -- Pity about the back-up team;  don’t worry, it will all sort itself out. -- So, do drop by my lodgings for a spot of torture -- I mean, tiffin--  eh?”
Jack  [at a loss for words…]
