I am not a number, I am a free man. You've seen the intro sequence a hundred times but now you too can visit the home of Number 6 in the hit show The Prisoner.
A cult classic that was running before The Prisoner and continues to this day is of course Dr. Who. We can't promise that the Doctor himself will always be around but out of all the numerous Tardis sightings around the U.K. this one seems to be the most reliable and the only one that I'd be willing to risk my life travelling through space-time.
Next up we will visit the filming location for the masterful reworkings of another cult classic in the shape of the BBC hit, Sherlock.
Then back to the swinging sixties and everyone's favourite spy-duo in The Avengers. Here we will visit the home of John Steed during the classic era of Emma Peel.
Finally we will finish up at the long-time head quarters of the worlds most famous spy, 007 James Bond. It's been blown up a few times in the movies but they seem to have done a great job of repairing it.
