Wish You Were Here

Teleplay by Tony Williamson, Directed by Don Chaffey

Continuity & Trivia

This rollicking pastiche of Patrick Macgoohan's masterwork The Prisoner is even directed by regular The Prisoner and Dangerman director, Don Chaffey.
Mother sits in his control room on one end of an outsized scale, in an outright parody of the swivelling control operator's boom in The Prisoner, the huge photographs around the room are reminiscent of scenes at Number 2's house as well.

4:40 - Maples has one of the silhouette versions of the painting seen in From Venus with Love on his office wall.
