The Transformation of No.6

   This is Curtis, as he was after his transformation into No.6 {poor old chap} and because he is left handed, and had to undergo conditioning to make him right handed. His moustache shaved off, his hair dyed and styled, and all the  time he was reading No.6's personal file, watching surveillance footage of No.6 to see how he walks, to learn his mannerism, and of course listening to audio tapes so to learn how No.6 speaks. All things considered I think they did a pretty good job. This on the other hand is No.6, and we must not forget his transformation as Curtis.
   With No.6 it was slightly different, he did go through certain conditioning treatment to make him left handed, to smoke Black Russian cigarettes. For his favourite dish to be Flapjacks, although what he actually eats are British Pancakes, not a biscuit, but made from batter!
   His hair is dyed and restyled, grows both a beard and moustache, the beard later shaved off to leave the moustache.

So through No.6 we can see what Curtis looked like before his transformation. But then No.6 was put through a second transformation to that of his former self. His moustache was shaved off, the black dye washed out of his hair, which was restyled. No.6 didn't have to read any file about Curtis, didn't have to study the man for his style and manner. In fact No.6 was playing Curtis blind so to speak. Not knowing the strange apartment he woke up in, yet knew enough not to wear the badge pinned to the lapel of his blazer, where as Curtis seemed to like wearing his No.6 badge, which was totally out of No.6's character, No.2 should have told him that! They say that everyone has a doppleganger, I wonder where No.2 dug Curtis up from? {He has the look of actor Donald Sinden about him} I'm surprised that they didn't put Curtis into the position of No.6 before he resigned, if of course he is working for the other side, the side opposite to No.6 that is. That might work in the same way as the Village was doing in Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, and without the dangers of mind transferrance.                         Be seeing you
