Trivia / The Prisoner E11 "It's Your Funeral"

• Acting in the Dark: Derren Nesbitt saidd 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.
• Hostility on the Set: Annette Andre disliked Patrick McGoohan due to his distant attitude and onset behaviour, such as berating the director onset. She kept her distance as result.
• No Stunt Double: Patrick McGoohan and Mark Eden did their fight scene themselves.
• Troubled Production: According to the documentary Don't Knock Yourself Out, production of this episode was impacted by behind-the-scenes tension. Interviewed in the documentary, actors Annette Andre and Mark Eden both recall Patrick McGoohan and the director entering into a shouting match during filming (Andre strongly criticizes McGoohan for this behaviour). Eden recalls McGoohan losing control and nearly strangling him during a fight scene. Andre ends her comments by stating she did not enjoy her time on the programme, while a crewmember expresses his belief that McGoohan, under creative pressure, experienced a nervous breakdown during the filming of this episode.
• Uncredited Role: Roger Lloyd-Pack as a prisoner.
• Wag the Director: It was at this point that Patrick McGoohan assumed control of the series. This led to George Markstein resigning as script editor and the original director being sacked mid-shoot.
