Did you know
- TriviaThe character "Bowler" is portrayed by an actor named John Drake. Not only is John Drake the name of Patrick McGoohan's character in Danger Man (1960), but is also possibly the true identity of No.6 in this show. McGoohan hired Drake because he was amused by the coincidence.

- ConnectionsReferenced in Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling: Episode 15 - The Girl Who Was Death (2014)
For the first 12 episodes The Prisoner was great, an intense, intriguing, intelligent battle of wits and wills between Number Six and a variety of Number Twos and their minions. Then came the 13th episode - Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling - and the quality of the show took a sharp downturn with a plot that was threadbare and didn't make much sense.
The 14th episode - Living in Harmony - was even worse and was The Prisoner's jumping the shark moment. Anytime a show suddenly is set in a new location and/or time period (especially) you know the writers have run out of ideas and this exactly what happened there. The episode is not really The Prisoner - it's an out-of-place, haphazard story jammed into the show. To crown it all, the episode totally falls apart at the end.
This episode is essentially more of the same: an out-of-place story jammed in to take up space and pad out the series. As with the previous episode the seeming discontinuity is explained away at the end but the whole episode reeks of desperation and lack of good ideas.
