Everything's getting re-made in Boston these days, even the opening sequence to The Prisoner

Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling is a duo doing "loud, arty, minimalist rock working in the realm of proto-punk/new wave/no wave bands and dark songwriters." And they really, really like the original, Patrick McGoohan series - so much so that not only did they take their name from one of its episodes, they just completed this shot-for-shot recreation of the series' opening sequence. No. 6 resigns under the Boston Harbor Hotel (which has a secret exit under the World Trade Center), she drives to her flat in Bay Village and she wakes up to look out over the grounds of the Mass. Horticulture Society's Elm Bank property in Wellesley (so Rover bubbles up from under the Charles, no?).

The video took took two years to plan and 11 days to shoot. The duo is currently in the middle of a project to write and record a song based on each episode of the original series.
