BOB MONKS R.I.P.

The Unmutual Website is very sad to announce that Robert Monks, camera operator on "The Prisoner" and friend to TUW , passed away suddenly at his home on 26th September 2012.

An incredibly talented and innovative camera operator, Bob was present at both the 1966 and 1967 Portmeirion shoots and at MGM where he headed the second unit, and was also responsible for all the helicopter footage seen in the series and for filming the opening sequence in London.

A fascinating speaker, Bob will also be remembered for his incredible memory of events working on the series including his wonderful interview at PM2006.

A truly talented, kind, and generous man, Bob will be sorely missed by all who knew him and TUW extends its sincerest sympathies to his wife Ina, his seven children, and countless other family and friends. Farewell, Bob. Rest In Peace.

With thanks to Michael Lee.
