The Colonel

    Within the 17 epsidoes of the Prisoner there are no fewer than four Colonels who appear in The Chimes of Big Ben, Many Happy Returns, Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Draling, and The Girl Who Was Death, so was the Prisoner-No.6 linked with the military in some way? Well quite possibly, because in Military Intelligence circles military rank was retained, such as the Colonel. And of course as we know Military Intelligence is MI5 and MI6. But what many people don't realise is, that Military Intelligence ran from a system from MI1, through MI9 and even MIX. John Drake in the 50 minute episodes of Danger Man worked for M9, but should that have been MI9 but with no intelligence?
Be seeing you
