Pictorial Prisoner

    I've often wondered what the significance this Peg Wooden doll has in the Prisoner, although I've never been able to figure out what that significance, if any, that might be. The way this doll is placed in the chair by a disembodied hand, during the conversation between No.6 and No.14 in Checkmate, seems quite deliberate to me. Also there is a Peg Wooden doll on the table in No.6's cottage on the day of his arrival, it holds the card 'Welcome to Your Home From Home.'   Be seeing you
