I like the picture you painted with Number 12 having fired the gas gun, then had to fend Number 6 off until they both collapsed!<br /> Ah yes that phrase it might be more simpler than you might imagine, “The atmosphere here is very different to what it was elsewhere,” It’s possible that Patrick McGoohan might have inserted his own private joke, referring to the fact that the scene between Number 6 and the two guardians doesn’t take place in Portmeirion, but on a film set at MGM film studios.<br /><br />Best wishes<br />David<br />Be seeing youDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-57838057243614048882016-06-03T20:05:09.146+01:002016-06-03T20:05:09.146+01:00Hi David,

A curious phrase “The atmosphere here is very different from what it was elsewhere,’ perhaps because they are on a set at MGM film studios, and not in Portmeirion! <br /> Certainly Number 2 in having given Number 6 the password Gemini, thus being able to distinguish between the two sixes should the need arise. But of course Number 6 out-foxed Number 2 on that front.<br /> Curtis said that the nerve gas gun had a 25 yards range, one squirt you’re paralysed, two squirts you’re dead! But had Curtis squeezed the trigger of that gun in the confines of that room, surely Curtis would have also suffered the effects of the nerve gas. I don’t see him with a gas mask!<br /> Curtis had that nerve gas gun for self-protection, just like Number 2 in ‘Hammer Into Anvil’ had a sword in his shooting stick for the same reason!<br /><br />Best regards<br />David<br />Be seeing youDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-52881237761902209512016-05-25T21:43:59.179+01:002016-05-25T21:43:59.179+01:00Hi David,

He was obviously trying to find out every detail about what had been done to him, and to see if he could turn the tables to his use!<br />We also KNEW who the REAL Number 6 was, because when he went into his own flat and Curtis was lying on the bed with a WEAPON...that told us HE was the fake Number 6, because if they had let Number 6 have that nerve gas gun, he'd have had everyone in the village knocked out if he could have!!!<br /><br />BCNU<br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216072285740409212noreply@blogger.com
