Number Six is the central character in the 1967–1968 television series The Prisoner. The unnamed character in the original TV series was played by series co-creator Patrick McGoohan. For one episode, "Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling", Number Six was portrayed by Nigel Stock due to McGoohan being away filming the movie Ice Station Zebra. [1]
According to The Prisoner by Robert Fairclough, had the serial been renewed for a second series, the format would have followed that presented in this episode, with Number 6 being sent out on missions on behalf of The Village. Also missing from the episode is the usual Number Two introductory sequence that follows the opening titles.
The miniseries stars Jim Caviezel as Number 6, and Ian McKellen as Number 2, and was shot on location in Namibia and South Africa. The new series received mainly unfavourable reviews, with a 45/100 rating by 21 critics and 3.6/10 by 82 users as of July 2018.
The Number Two in this episode is one of only a few in the entire series to wear a black identity badge. This episode is unusual in that the entire first act, showing Number Six escaping from the Village and making his way to London, features no dialogue, save for some German spoken by the gunrunners on the boat Number Six finds himself aboard.
A 2018 comic book miniseries, The Prisoner: The Uncertainty Machine (Titan Comics) does not feature Number 6 (despite images of Patrick McGoohan from the series used on the covers of each issue), but is set in the present day in the same continuity of the TV series and as such is implied to take place after the events of "Fall Out".
