Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling
- 13.
- Season: 1
- Episode: 13
- First Aired: 1/7/1968
- In several of the long shots during the scenes that take place in Number Two's office, it is likely not Nigel Stock, Clifford Evans or Hugo Schuster on set. edit »
- Approximately 30 minutes into 'Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling' the rebodied Number Six walks into a Photographic Shop. On the door an advertisement poster is folded over twice at the top so as not to show the poduct name. A moment later Number Six looks back through the door and sees a man watching - the poster is now only folded once and advertises "The Polaroid Swinger". edit »
- In some of the car driving shots the actor is not Nigel Stock but looks to be McGoohan. This is particularly evident after he has left the camera shop and is returning back home, as the car makes a right hand turn. Likely due to using stock footage of McGoohan driving rather than filming Nigel Stock doing it. edit »

- This is the only episode in which someone other than Patrick McGoohan portrays Number Six. He is played by Nigel Stock here. edit »
- This is the only episode in which they both appear where Patrick McGoohan (Number Six) and Angelo Muscat (The Butler) do not share a scene. edit »
- This is the only episode of 'The Prisoner' in which Number Six touches a woman in an affectionate way, the woman being Number Six's fiancee. This is probably because the actor portraying Number Six is not Patrick McGoohan, who objected to doing scenes of this kind. This is probably why intimate scenes were written out of two other episodes which would have featured McGoohan, 'The Chimes Of Big Ben' and 'Many Happy Returns'. edit »
- The working title of this episode was "Face Unknown." edit »
- Lockwood West (Camera Shop Manager) was the father of Timothy West, the father-in-law of Prunella Scales and the grandfather of Samuel West. edit »
- The footage of Sir Charles Portland's party is taken from "A. B. and C." edit »
- The footage of Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) pacing around his front room, eating toast and drinking tea, is taken from "Once Upon A Time" which, although it was aired after this episode, was actually filmed months before. edit »
- The final scene is the only one that Patrick McGoohan (Number Six) actually filmed for this episode as he was filming Ice Station Zebra in America at the time. All of the other footage of him is taken from other episodes. We also recorded several voice over lines for this episode. edit »
