Thought For The Day

    I have thought for some time, that the Prisoner suffers from too many scriptwriters. Had there been fewer scriptwriters, then there would have been more continuity between the episodes. Because what one writer may write for an early episode, is possibly unknown by another writer, or forgotten by the time of a later episode. For example, during The Chimes of Big Ben we learn that No.6 gave up sugar on medical advice. Yet by the time of It's Your Funeral, No.6 is sat at a table on the lawn of the Old People's Home, helping himself liberally from the sugar bowl!   BCNU
