YMMV / The Prisoner E15 "The Girl Who Was Death"

Go To

  • Bizarro Episode: The episode wasn't even devised as a Prisoner episode but was based upon a leftover script for Danger Man (though it would be even more of a bizarro episode for that "stale beer" series). Somewhat undercut by the reveal of the Unreliable Narrator at the end, but it's also the only episode to feature children in the Village, leading to...
  • Fridge Horror: The implications of there being young children in the Village.
  • Special Effect Failure: All the close-up shots of Number 6's face on the carnival location are in front of obvious back-projection. This is because Patrick McGoohan was not present at the location shoot as he had had to return to Hollywood to complete filming on Ice Station Zebranote  so the location scenes used a body double whose face was never clearly shown on the actual location interspersed with close-ups of McGoohan in front of back-projection.
