starred in  the Hollywood movie, _Ice Station Zebra (1968)_ (qv). For filming to  be able to continue in his absence, "Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My  Darling", with The Prisoners mind transferred to another mans  body, was concocted, and replacements for departed crew members were  found. After the star returned from America, shot his ending speech  and a few insert shots for "Darling," and the episodes "Living In  Harmony" and "The Girl Who Was Death," he then confessed to Grade  that he had no ideas for the finish (he knew only that he wanted no  conventional "James Bond" type finale, such as one suggestion,  allegedly from Markstein before he quit, that Number One turn out to  be The Butler). Grade replied that the actor was obligated to come  up with something. McGoohan locked himself away for most of the next  week and wrote, "Fall Out" while the two episodes from the abandoned  final season of "Danger Man" ("Koroshi" and "Shinda Shima") later  reedited into a feature film, _Koroshi (1966) (TV)_ (qv) preempted  "The Prisoner" for two weeks to buy him the needed time. Actor  Kenneth Griffith (I) (qv), who plays The President in the final  episode, has repeatedly claimed that he was asked to write his own  speech (singular his). As the character talks only in speeches, this  is less than clear, but at least Griffith specified that his point  was how pressed for time McGoohan was.
