Nice to hear from you.
Yes, I ha...Hello Andy,<br /> Nice to hear from you.<br /> Yes, I happen to be one of those people who are of the belief that Number 6 is John Drake. But never mind that. Your comment is a clever one, suggestive and well thought out. I enjoyed reading it, I hope my other readers did.<br /> I enjoyed your interpretation. McGoohan was one for in-jokes as we know, although he didn't appreciate others doing like-wise. Whether you are right or wrong we will never know. But it is very clever thinking none-the-less.<br /><br />Very kind regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-71309129567554036822015-02-06T12:45:20.784+00:002015-02-06T12:45:20.784+00:00It could well be one of McGoohan's 'in jok...It could well be one of McGoohan's 'in jokes'. 'John Maxim', well John is the first name of John Drake that many people assume is Number 6; the meaning of maxim is a brief expression of a general truth, could he be saying that people's assumptions are true? John Drake is there in person but not in name, John Maxim is there in name but not in person! Let's look at Maxim's non-existent character, Number 86, as he's not in the episode he is therefore not a number but a free man! But how is this connected to John Drake? McGoohan called the character Number 86 obviously knowing there were 86 episodes of Dangerman, giving the viewers yet another subtle hint in this non appearing character that number 6 is in truth John Drake and so this adds to my theory of his 'in joke' . Of course it could be complete tosh and it may be he decided against putting the actor in but didn't have time to remove his name. We'll never know...Be Seeing You!
