The follow-up to my 'Prisoner / Adam and Joe toy movie spoof' spoof
'Revival' is now available for download from my Prisonbear web page:
http://www.snapsandbytes.co.uk/prisonbear

I've uploaded four sizes, a 115Mb(!) mpeg, and three smaller wmv file
versions of 'Stalemate', the second episode. I've also uploaded the
bigger mpeg version of the original PB episode for broadband (or
dial-up folks with LOTS of time on their hands) users to access. This
is the version which will play full-screen on a PC or Mac, while
looking how I want it to, so I recommend downloading it if you have the
time.

The second episode of The Prisonbear is a darker tale than the
original, but still stuffed full of Priz and other references, twists,
gags and a new evil Number 2 you can boo and hiss. :-)

Fingers crossed, episode II (I think of it as my 'Empire Strikes
Back'!) will also be shown at PM2006 - I hope you'll enjoy it, even
though it's a very different film from my first one...

Oh that is superb! I loved all the little asides.

Well done, Paul!

Can I just gee everyone up to really take time out to watch both of Paul's
films. Both are superb from start-to-finish and are, in my opinion, the
finest Prisoner spoofs probably ever made. Wonderful attention to detail (I
really don't know how he makes a bear seem so, erm, human) and laughs a
plenty.

Genius, Paul!

You've done it again, and given us that rarity, a sequel as well constructed
and as equally hilarious as the first film.

(And 'Prisonbear', in turn, pays a fun homage to a brilliant original which
doesn't detract in any way from a classic piece of television or the serious
issues it addresses.)

I'm going to talk about it now, folks, so if you don't want to know the
score, look away now...

I really like the way in which you manage to take lines from 'The Prisoner'
and re-use them in a fresh way.

I loved it when the toy helicopter took off to the strains of that music,
his growly voice and the whole goodbye sequence really...

The see-saw footage is menace combined with pure slapstick.

And as for "Fur Ball XL5" as someone else once remarked, I wish I'd said
that! :-)

Superb effort Paul. A real gem.

Excellent work!

I see a catchphrase developing: "It's fair to say I wasn't expecting
that!"

I could watch a whole film of nothing but the little bear just
muttering to himself!

Stay tuned for part three then, lol!
I have some other projects on at the moment, so don't expect to see
Dance of the Ted (or will it be called Free Fur All?) before PM2006 -
but it is coming :-)

"Dance of the Ted", definately!

Is your little bear attending PM2006? Can I get his autograph?

If you ever need to mirror the films, just drop me a line.

I believe that as well as showing both films, Paul will be bringing Bear and
several props etc to display. With you displaying your Lego, you may well be
"stall neighbours". :-)

I wondered if many people would pick up on the Pooh, well done! I did
put an extra clue into the end credits in case anyone missed that
slightly subtle joke...

Thanks for the mirroring offer Steve. I've unlimited space and
bandwidth with my host so for now it's not an issue, but if that
changes in the future, I may be in touch!

No autographs from Curly, sorry. The best I can offer is an inky paw
print :-)
I expect (weather permitting) to be doing some filming with the bears
around Portmeirion for DotT too, and I have several sets and props to
bring along in August, as Rick says.

Count me in too. I can imagine telling future generations of Prisoner
(and Prisonbear!) fans...

"I was there you know? Yes, when the bear was at PM 2006."

;-))

Looking forward to meeting the furry legend.
