Escape!

    Number 6 risked his life to go back there because he thought it was different, it was, wasn’t it, wasn’t it different? Well the office was different, different to the office in the Green Dome that is. Although the questions were the same, if only asked by the Colonel instead of Number 2. And yet speaking of the Colonel. When Number 6 returned to London, eventually making one of his calls in the country, to see the Colonel, why did he fail to mention the Colonel’s predecessor and Fotheringay to him and Thorpe? Perhaps he did. Maybe the Colonel gave an adequate explanation of his predecessor's action, and we as the television viewer were not privy to that discussion, which may well have taken place prior to the scene commencing with the Colonel examining the photographs of The Village. Do not forget, the Prisoner is wary of the Colonel. He’s not sure which side runs The Village. Well if the actions of his ex-colleagues haven’t told him that much, well there’s no hope for the Prisoner. Then on the other hand, perhaps the Colonel’s predecessor and Fotheringay were like others, recruited by The Villages administration, forced to work for The Village when called for. That way The Village might not be run by the British, not by any one state, but an independent entity, which can call upon the services of anyone of any government department, state or country. Nevertheless, it would have been nice though, hearing Number 6 report the action of the Colonel’s predecessor and Fotheringay.

Be seeing you
