What do these three episodes have in common
‘A Change of Mind,’ ‘Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling,’ or ‘Living In Harmony?’
Hi David, I think it might have something to do with the titles. If I remember correctly Harmony had almost been named Do Not Forsake Me ... and Do Not Forsake Me actually shows a Change Of Mind.
Hello Arno and Jana, Yes they were both shot without being on location in Portmeirion, or indeed any other location for that matter. And yes it does have something to do with the titles, they are all interchangable. In 'A Change of Mind No.2 wants the citizens to live in harmony, there being no room for unmutuals, so 'Living In Harmony' could be exchanged for the title 'A Change of Mind,' which could be substituted for the title of 'Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling' seeing as the Prisoner's body has had a change of mind. And of course 'Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Daling' was the original tile for 'Living In Harmony' because of the song of the same name in the 1952 film 'High Noon.'
They weren't shot on location, in the Village.- BCNU!
