The Tally Ho welcomes you to The Village as we continue our journey through classic TV series The Prisoner. In this episode we look at Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, the thirteenth episode of The Prisoner. Number 6 is subjected to a bizarre experiment in which is mind is transferred into the body of a another man (Nigel Stock). Placed back in his London home with his memories of The Village erased, his only hope may be to track down Professor Seltzman, the missing scientist who invented procedure. But it seems that everyone is looking for Seltzman, and hoping that Number 6 will lead them straight to him...

Join us as we discuss this strange episode in which Patrick McGoohan is notably absent! We are then joined by actor and writer Rupert Booth, the author of the wonderful McGoohan biography Not A Number to discuss McGoohan's life and work. We also get our usual news round-up from Rick Davy of The Unmutual. And we take a look at some of our Twitter followers' suggestions for their dream actor to have played Number 2 in the series! Be seeing you!
