The 60's series is being shown at midnight where I live. I just watched episode 8, Dance of the Dead. It seems to me that this could easily have been the first episode. Did the producer change the running order just to make it even stranger?

DotD could not be the first episode for obvious reasons. However, other than Arrival and Once Upon a Time/Fall Out, you could show/watch them in any order, truly. DotD was McG's second episode IIRC
I personally subscribe to the order arranged in the mid 1980s by Scott Apel for KTEH channel 54, PBS affiliate in San Jose, California. He compiled a new order of progression for the series' episodes based on extensive analysis, one which is considered by many to be definitive. He likens the series' structure to that of a three-act play. His commentary is delightfully witty and insightful, worth viewing even today IMHO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSI0HU6io7I VF

It is especially annoying that the KTEH channel should commision an apparent expert and then present what was at best, a wild guess, as historical fact. Apel presents various ideas about what he calls the Symbology of the series and that is fair enough - you can agree or disagree, which is quite the purpose McGoohan desired of his show, but for Apel to present physical, real-life history in such a slap-dash manner is quite reprehensible.
An Official book from 1988 stated that Living in Harmony was somehow censored by CBS in 1968, yet an American expert evidently knew that this story was nonsense, but rather than challenge it, he instead puts a whole new twist on the legend and states that the series only had a sixteen week slot and so one episode had to be dropped. The expert knew the cult-myth was was incorrect but rather than find out the real reason for the episode that I have explained in the blog referenced, the self-styled expert merely invented a whole new *fact* !! As can be seen from this contemporary press cutting, there is no doubt whatsoever that the series was initially expected to run for the full 17 episodes.
Apel perpetuates and amplifies the myth that George Markstein was the creative force behind The Prisoner and compounds the injury by then apparently congratulating McGoohan on the things he contributed.!!. The symbology of this is what we British would call Adding Insult to Injury.

Just my take on it, but I see this as The Village's way of showing Number Six that he was dead as far as the outside world was concerned, so should succumb to their wishes for him to give in to them.
Not that he WAS dead, just that it was already seeming that way outside The Village.

You missed Catch My Soul (1974); but then so did everybody else. I'm the only person in the Universe with a copy of the original soundtrack album.

Catch My Soul (1973) Time Out film review:
"Lame attempt to film Jack Good's rock opera version of Shakespeare's Othello, a folly which started life on the stage. Hampered all the way by McGoohan's languorous direction, which lets each appalling moment of this uncomfortable hybrid of grade-school Shakespeare and grade-school religion sink wincingly in."

OK, I was being a bit harsh for comic effect. I'll get my coat.
The appearance of one of the puppets in Captain Scarlet (the World President) was based on Patrick, he was supposed to provide the voice as well but they couldn't afford him.

In the mid-60s on American TV he was The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh in a series made by Disney - sadly all we got in the UK was an edited- down movie version (shown in cinemas as a supporting feature) called Dr. Syn Alias The Scarecrow.

Oh, man, if you want to talk editing, this is a bit to the side but in the 2008 DVD release there are people in the extra bits section talking a blue streak about the production and repeating one another; most of it unnecessary. Then you get to the interview with PMG, you settle in your chair and BOOM! It's OVER. He's on for about one minute. Grrrrr.

Just returning (if anyone wants to) to the original query about Ordering however..... Was it mere coincidence George, that that darned cat from Dance of the Dead was in the immediately preceeding episode? Many Happy Returns....
That seems like some evidence of pretty deliberate ordering to me. Also, the otherwise possibly confusing dialogue when #6 refers to himself as being *new*, in Dance of the Dead also makes perfect sense in the context that within the immediately preceeding episode #6 has just been parachuted *back* into the village. All the *new* aspects of the village (eg Town Hall electrocution) that are referred to within Dance of the Dead also make sense only because of the context of Many Happy Returns wherein #6's has a month or so away from the world of badges and blazers and in dance of the Dead, he has truly just arrived... again.
Furthermore the whole notion of the floating dead body in the sea, within the plot of Dance of the Dead) is explicitly in order to make it appear that #6 is dead. The Colonel from Many Happy Returns evidently had some affection for his friend "who never gives up" so if the Colonel should have got on the trail of the prisoner, then it could have led to all sorts of complications.
The unspoken conclusion of Many Happy Returns would have been that jet- plane never returned to England. (it's obvious that the milkman would not have returned the jet to base) #6 would have appeared to be *lost*. Dance of the Dead meant that nobody would ever come looking for him beacuase he was now known to be dead.
