* ToughActToFollow: Creator/PatrickMcGoohan actually left the UK shortly after the controversial final episode aired and settled in the US, and his only television series since then (''Rafferty'') has been long forgotten except by die-hard cult fans. He did have some sporadic success in the US, notably when working with Creator/PeterFalk on some UsefulNotes/EmmyAward-winning episodes of ''Series/{{Columbo}}'' or playing Dr. Ruth in ''Film/{{Scanners}}'', but ''The Prisoner'' completely overshadows all his other work. (Indeed, one of his ''Columbo'' episodes was essentially a riff on ''The Prisoner'', and a film he starred in called ''Kings and Desperate Men'' not only was directed by and co-starred one of his Prisoner actors, but it revisited many of the earlier show's themes.) The only role that even comes close is his villainous turn as King Edward I ("Who is Number One," indeed) in ''{{Film/Braveheart}}''. This seems to have been largely by design as [=McGoohan=] had no interest in leading another show, even turning down an offer to replace Falk as Columbo, or much interest in fame in general (he even turned down the role of James Bond due to his dislike of the violent material).

* MisaimedMarketing: Many fan sites, as well as the official store in Portmeirion, sell a replica Number 6 badge; you know, like the one Number Six wore for about two seconds before tearing it off in disgust and declaring he wasn't a number! Though he does wear a "6" rosette for much of "[[Recap/ThePrisonerE4FreeForAll Free For All]]".
