Hmmm, this is a series I haven't visited in a bit, but was always a favorite. Not in any real order:
Arrival (very fast paced and mysterious intro)
Free For All (a really sharp satire on politics and the press - I watch it every election day)
The Chimes of Big Ben (classic episode with a great twist)
Many Happy Returns (much like Chimes but on a grander scale)
The Girl Who Was Death (this episode is f'n hilarious with a number of "Danger Man" tips of the hat)
The music in this series was top class and the selections from the Chappell Library are eccentric and fun.

With the exception of The Girl Who Was Death, my favorites all come from the earlier period. Girl was just so off the wall and pretty much the series out of steam. Which is funny since the show only ran 17 episodes. McGoohan always said that was like 10 episodes too many. It was a limited concept.

I was about to write "I like the one everyone else hates - The Girl Who Was Death," but it's already been cited here twice. I like it because of it's offbeat quality (and that's saying something for this show) and dream logic. For anyone who says that its ending is a cop-out, that's someone who doesn't "get" the whole trolling aspect of the entire series.

Moments from The Girl Who Was Death and Once Upon a Time haunted me for years after seeing them as a six or seven year old on first run in the USA, and then not seeing anything at all for 15 years or more. And I think also Arrival, because I remember Rover as a nightmare image from my childhood.
So not favorites, so much as favorite moments - a grown man on a rocking horse, "you - have - just - been - poisoned" - the stuff of inchoate terror.

This is where someone asks whats your favourite episodes and people list nearly all of them?? Lol.
Was Schizoid man the one where mcgoohan destroys patrick cargill's no2? If so that was great episode.
My personal favourite was The Girl who was death because i fancied Justin. No other reason needed

Enjoyed them all but for me The Girl Who Was Death* and Many Happy Returns for which I have fond memories of.
*Oh yeah - Good night children....everywhere!

What is it that a TV show can bring so many like minded people together to celebrate a common interest and then disenfranchise them all in such a dramatic way that they become warring factions?
This reminds me of the old quote: "Why are academic politics so vicious? Because the stakes are so low."
Applies to many things.

Surprisingly, Decades, on their latest 'binge,' included the entire "The Girl Who Was Death" pub scene, with P ordering one drink until, well, you know.
On the other hand, the cuts in "Living in Harmony," at least in my view, really disrupted the story's narrative flow.
Win some, lose some...
