Announcer (unseen) Production According to the documentary Don't Knock Yourself Out, produced for the 2007 DVD reissue of The Prisoner in the UK (and included in the DVD/Blu-ray edition released in North America in October 2009), production of this episode was impacted by behind-the-scenes tension. Interviewed in the documentary, actors Annette Andre and Mark Eden both recall McGoohan and the director entering into a shouting match during filming (Andre strongly criticises McGoohan for this behaviour). Eden recalls McGoohan losing control and nearly strangling him during a fight scene. Nesbitt, also interviewed for the programme, indicates that he was never given any information regarding what the yet-to-be-broadcast series was about, and thus played New Number Two in a state of confusion. Andre ends her comments by stating she did not enjoy her time on the programme, while a crew member expresses his belief that McGoohan, under creative pressure, experienced a nervous breakdown during the filming of this episode. Broadcast The broadcast date of the episode varied in different ITV regions of the UK. The episode was first shown at 7:30pm on Friday 8 December 1967 on ATV Midlands and Grampian Television, on Friday 15 December on Anglia Television, on Sunday 17 December on ATV London, whose broadcasts were also taken up by Southern Television, Westward Television and Tyne-Tees; on Thursday 21 December on Scottish Television, on Thursday 28 December on Border Television and on Friday 5 January 1968 on Granada Television in the North West. The aggregate viewing figures for the ITV regions that debuted the season in 1967 have been estimated at 9.3 million.
