The Prisoner 13 – Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling

I wonder what this song this episode is named after really sounds like.

Today in long as heck names that are a little bit meaningless: a name we didn’t actually come up with. I mean, let’s be fair we’ve definitely come up with some long and inconsequential or confusing names. But for once in our lifetimes, the long and useless name was not invented by Decorative Vegetable, it was invented by McGoohan McGoohan. It’s Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, written by Vincent Tillsley and aired on December 22, 1967.

11:37: The “Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling” band. LIVE. Ok not really. It’s just some of their music videos. Close enough.
