See Saw Marjory Daw....................

  Nursery rhymes are fascinating, don't you think? Take See saw Marjory Daw, Johnny shall have a new master..........and so the nursery rhyme begins, only in the Prisoner episode Once Upon A Time it doesn't! See saw Majory Daw, Jacky shall have a new master.......so why the change in name I wonder? A slip of the type writer when writing the script perhaps? Or is it because 'they' were trying to to avoid any references to John Drake by not using the name "Johnny"? It is a trivial point, but a curious one neverthe less. A miss quote, or a deliberate act? Thus far I've never been able to find out. And it's highly probable that I never will.
