Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling
"Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling" is an episode of the allegorical British science fiction TV series, ''The Prisoner''.

It was the thirteenth episode to be broadcast in the UK on ITV (ATV Midlands and Grampian) on Friday 22 December 1967 and first aired in the United States on CBS on Saturday 3 August 1968. The episode stars Patrick McGoohan as Number Six and features as Number Two, Clifford Evans. Produced while Patrick McGoohan was in America filming ''Ice Station Zebra'', the writers worked around McGoohan's absence by having Number Six's mind implanted in the body of another man ( Nigel Stock), who is then sent out of the Village to help capture a scientist. As a result, McGoohan appears in the episode for only a couple of minutes. The episode title, and the background music heard throughout it, derive from the American song "The Ballad of High Noon" – also called "Do No ...

The Ballad Of High Noon
"The Ballad of High Noon" (also known simply as "High Noon", or by its opening lyric and better known title, "Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin'") is a popular song published in 1952, with music by Dimitri Tiomkin and lyrics by Ned Washington. It is the theme song of the 1952 multiple Academy Award-winning movie ''High Noon'' (and titled onscreen as such in the film's opening credits as sung by popular country music singer and actor Tex Ritter), with its tune repeated throughout the film. It was awarded the 1952 Academy Award for Best Original Song, and was performed that night for the Academy by Ritter. There were only three instruments accompanying Ritter on the soundtrack: guitar, accordion, and the Hammond Novachord, the first electronic synthesizer, which created an unusual gourd-like percussion background. The song appears at number 25 on " AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs". Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time. Oth ...
