"It's Your Funeral" is an episode of the allegorical British science fiction TV series, The Prisoner.
It was the eleventh episode to be broadcast in the UK on ITV (ATV Midlands and Grampian) on Friday 8 December 1967 and first aired in the United States on CBS on Saturday 10 August 1968.
Later that day, Number Six meets another prisoner who tells him about jammers, people within the Village who concoct false escape plots, which Control is obliged to investigate.
While the watchmaker is in the back room mending his watch, Number Six notices a detonation device that can be operated by radio.
On Appreciation Day, the watchmaker hides in the tower ready to detonate the bomb when the seal of office is placed around the retiring Number Two's neck.
[1] According to the documentary Don't Knock Yourself Out, produced for the 2007 DVD reissue of The Prisoner in the UK (and included in the DVD/Blu-ray edition released in North America in October 2009), production of this episode was impacted by behind-the-scenes tension.
Nesbitt, also interviewed for the programme, indicates 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.
Andre ends her comments by stating she did not enjoy her time on the programme, while a crew member expresses his belief that McGoohan, under creative pressure, experienced a nervous breakdown during the filming of this episode.
The aggregate viewing figures for the ITV regions that debuted the season in 1967 have been estimated at 9.3 million.
