It was quite obvious that the Village Administration knew exact;ly what No.6 would do if given the opportunity to 'run for Office, that he would try to organise a mass breakout of the Village, and this was proven during the 'Truth Test, and by the end of the series, when No.6 tried to force his will upon the people, by giving them the freedom No.6 thought everyone would want.
And in Many Happy Returns No.6 was allowed to leave the Village, even if it was by hard means, but predicting that if he could, No.6 would do his utmost to return home, and by good fortune, and a helping hand from the supposed gun-runenrs, No.6 did just that. He went home, but found that his house was now inhabited by Mrs Butterworth, as well as now owning his Lotus Seven. No.6 had two calls to make, one in town and one in the country......and so dispite being shown by The Chimes of Big Ben that his ex-colleagues could not be trusted, No.6 still went running back to them. Perhaps he thought that by using his ex-colleagues, it was the best way he had in finding the answers to the questions he had. But I mean, to go back and put his head in the lions mouth so to speak, seems to me certain folly.
And that is why No.6 can never win, he is far too predicatable. Trying to bring about a mass breakout. Going running back to his old colleagues, wanting to discover the Village for himself, perhaps that part was predicted previously in an earlier episode The Chimes of Big Ben 'I'm going to escape and come back. Come back wipe this palce from the face of the Earth, obliterate it, and you with it'.........' well No.6 even managed to get the first part of that prediction right as well!
Be seeing you
