The travelling animal acts had been reduced from lion-tamers to dogs
barking out the answers to maths questions for me ...

I am absolutely not sure. I think I did go to a circus in the 1950s. I
vaguely remeber horses with plumes on and clowns

Possibly some high wire stuff.
Might well have been a lion tamer

I certainly did and got bitten by his dog when we
were wandering around the cages as kids and
didn't notice the dog under the cage until it bit me

Still popular in France, there was a circus with a lion tamer near our
marina here (in Hautmont) just last year.

Not a Lion but the father of a barmaid in a Hampshire Village was the local Policeman , up the road was one of the premises the Chipperfields Family
used to hold their animals both for the Circus and other places they had
like Southampton Zoo or hired out as film props.One late evening he came
across a baby Hippopotamus that had escaped , reporting in to his
colleagues at the bigger town of Andover they initially though he was
jesting but had to change their minds when he put the animal which was
about the size of a small pig in the back of the Van and took it in for
them to deal with.
Both premises and the Zoo have long gone as the publics perception of on
animal welfare changed.

I recall going to a circus where, while the acrobats were performing
overhead, a cage was constructed which filled the entire ring (which was larger that the entire tent of most modern circuses). Then the lions and tigers were let in. (I don't remember how 'tame" they were.)

I remember about six elephants walking along the main street of Chippenham.

If it counts, I saw several PROPER circuses in the mid-1950s. Ones with elephants and lions and tigers. Those latter two were brought into the
ring via a temporary human-height tunnel of what looked like chromed
steel bars and into a large circular cage filling the central space.

On reflection, those precaustions may have just been for show and
reassurance - a fully-grown lion or tiger would surely have just pushed
them apart.

Being the 1950s, the circus then always ended with a wild west show with
a mini-story of a capture of an Annie-Oakley / Dale Evans type female character by the Injuns and rescued from their camp (tied to a totem
pole) by the heroic cowboys (who probably also herded the big cats
earlier in the show).

I heard of him, but never saw him.

I was vaguely familiar with him from TV (c. 1955/56) and was once taken
to see a film featuring his character (if it's of any interest, at the
old Hippodrome, West Derby Road, Liverpool). I can't remember the plot,
but there was a section wherein Pastry and some others were camping in a
farm field and one member of the group went to the farmhouse to buy some
eggs for breakfast. Pastry remarked that he liked the brown ones. That's
my only recollection of the film.

Change of subject but talking of lions, I watched Patrick McGoohan being filmed in a travelling lion cage under Admiralty Arch in either 1968 or
1969.
Not having a TV until 1973, I have watched every episode of The Prisoner

If it was filmed in 1968/69, you never will.

He was in a fair number of films, often as a bad guy. Not counting

It was repeated some years later, with some episodes out of order
compared to the original transmission. As I recall, there wasn't
actually much continuity in the series apart from the beginning and

It was repeated some years later, with some episodes out of order
compared to the original transmission. As I recall, there wasn't
actually much continuity in the series apart from the beginning and
end. Many episodes could have been shown in any order, most were self-contained. Most episodes had a new Number 2.

I remember a beginning, and the last episode, but no end, as such.

Yes, but "The Prisoner" - in its entirety - was transmitted in 1967
(and eneded before Christmas). Scenes filmed in 1968 or 1969 could
obviously not be part of it.

It is alleged that the episodes were originally broadcast in the wrong
order anyway

The last episode was some sort of clearing up exercise. But either way,
ATV would have had a hard job showing any episode a year or two before
it was made.
