Before I became an ATCO, I worked in a warehouse. One day we had a delivery in which had come straight from the studio at Borehamwood.
The driver (Irish accent) told us that he happened to see McGoohan there and went up to him to ask for his autograph assuming he would be successful being Irish himself.
McGoohan asked what he was doing there; driver said he'd just done a delivery.
"You've done your delivery now get out" said McGoohan.
