There has been quite a bit of discussion concerning the television
program "The Prisoner" on net.tv.drwho (A Dr. Who newsgroup),
and the two shows are far from related.  I propose the creation
of a newsgroup "net.tv.prisoner" to alleviate this problem, or
perhaps a "net.tv.bbc" group for the discussion of general "side
interests" relating to British Public Television.  I have forwarded
a copy of a response sent to net.tv.drwho to this effect:

What do other people out there (even in UK) think?

The fact remains that this IS, still, a Doctor Who net.  However,
I should think that the amount of "prisoner" discussion calls
for a newsgroup of its own, perhaps net.tv.prisoner.  I'll
suggest it to net.news.group.
