- "Be seeing you" is a commonly heard phrase in The Prisoner (UK) (1967), The Prisoner (2009), and was also one of Patrick McGoohan's catchphrases in Danger Man (UK) and "Danger Man" (1964) . McGoohan's character "Johnny Cousin" (a pot smoking drummer) in All Night Long (1962) uses the phrase also when he says goodbye to the road manager "Berger" towards the end of the movie.
- John Lithgow was considered for Number 2, but scheduling conflicts with Season 4 of Dexter, forced him to turn it down.
- According to an article in the New York Post, the set for the Village is in Namibia. It is a German settlement called Swakopmund, founded in 1910. The pastel colors were part of the original settlement, and not set decoration.
- When 6 pounds on 2's desk, 2's cup of tea bounces just like in the opening sequence of the original series.
- The music at Club More is a house/trance version of the original series theme song.
- During the final escape attempt of this episode, 6 picks up a rock and throws it, just like in the opening sequence of the original series.
- While walking to confront 2, 6 is shown in backlight silhouetted walking down a hall, just like in the opening sequence of the original series.
- The old man trying to escape, "93," was wearing a black blazer with white piping, white trousers and white plimsolls. This was the standard garb or uniform in the original series The Prisoner (UK). The commentary for this episode, with producer Trevor Hopkins and editor 'Jan Miles', reveals that the jacket that "93" is wearing is in fact one that Patrick McGoohan wore when starring as "6" in the original series. As an even more direct link to the original series, as the commentary also explains, the creators of the new series had approached McGoohan about taking the part of the old man in this sequence, to hint or imply that this was the central character from the original series still trying to escape. The commentary does not clearly say whether McGoohan had agreed to take the part, but in any case he died in January, 2009, before filming began.
