In the Prisoner only three episodes deals with the question of escape - Arrival - The Chimes of Big Ben - Free For All - Many Happy Returns, and Checkmate. I don't count Fall Out because that is a totally different kettle of fish altogether. Why so few attempts by No.6 to escape? Perhaps because there are so few ways to try and escape. Mind you I am surprised that No.6 took to the sea to leave the village in Many Happy Returns, when he could have filled the village taxi and could then have driven away across country. Yes there was the imposing mountains, but before he reached the mountains in the episode, there was miles and miles of open countryside!
