That a patient at the hospital, in Arrival, should be given the Prisoner's clothes to wear! I mean what is the point? Unless it is as a warning to the Prisoner that if he does not co-operate, he could easlily find himself undergoing Aversion Therapy! But therapy for what? Well aversion to the Village for one thing!
But in the long run, perhaps there's no meaning to the patient wearing the Prisoner's old clothes at all, and is something we simply have to accept. But then again, Patrick McGoohan had a deep mind, and I cannot think that he would have someone else dressed in the Prisoner's clothes for no good reason. Ah that's more like it, with the Prisoner, McGoohan messes with our minds, and that in itself would be justification for him!
