BTW I think The Prisoner, Rumpole of the Bailey, and Doctor Who resonated with people in the 60s and 70s because they all featured characters who asserted their individuality and rejected social conformity.

I definitely picked up on that vibe, yes. That said, oof, that final episode, the Youth, I mean… it felt parodical? Did it resonate at the time?
