Which Patrick McGoohan denies. However, one of THE PRISONER paperbacks from back in the day does refer to #6 as "Drake," McGoohan's DANGER MAN/SECRET AGENT character.

According to some sources, the reason McGoohan has always denied the connection between the two shows publicly is because he does not own the rights to the John Drake character -- SECRET AGENT producer Ralph Smart does. So he had to be careful.

I always like to think he really had Drake in mind for No. 6. It just seems a natural fit.
