An interesting comment. I think it...Hello Jana,<br /> An interesting comment. I think it was David Tomblin said I knew it would be you. And Patrick McGoohan once said of Number 1, who else could it have been? Well no-one I shouldn't think. Unless it turned out to be someone like Sir Charles Portland, or other high ranked Civil Servant. But how boring would that have been? While others of the production crew thought it was going to be Lew Grade!<br /><br />Very kind regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-50965132753851851362014-08-01T06:07:36.913+01:002014-08-01T06:07:36.913+01:00Hello David,

So that the village knows that he would be capable to be as important as Number 1 if he hadn't resigned (or fallen out, for that matter). Although it surely wasn't intended to be meant this way. <br /><br />As for all the hints who Number 1 is, I think on some occasions this might have been like an inside joke for them. about McGoohan being Number 6 but Number 1 of the production process. Or a comment by the writers about Number 6s overwheening sense of self-importance. I can also imagine that the decision to make Number 6 Number 1 partly came from reflection on the whole filming process and from self-reflection, too. That McGoohan kind of learned who Number 1 was just by being Number 6.<br /><br />Very best wishes<br />Jana<br />BCNUJananoreply@blogger.com
