IN
THE PRISONER: In the opening sequence, and the episode "Do Not
Forsake Me", a Hearse follows Number Six's Lotus to his home. In "Fall
Out", a hearse is seen passing by Number Six's house at the end of the
episode .
IN REALITY: The Hearse used in the series' opening sequence is a 1960s Austin Princess Limousine Hearse (similar to one which appears in The Beatles film "Help!") and has the registration plate TLH 858. The Hearse used in "Fall Out", although the same make, had the number-plate 289 ALW and was thus not the same one used in the opening titles of the Series. Each was fitted with Vanden Plas luxury interiors.
