Caught On Camera

  In 'The Schizoid Man,' Number Six is conditioned to be left-handed over a long period of time, via an electronic probe. Towards the end of the episode, when alone in his cottage, he sees a short-circuiting table lamp, and gets an idea. He earths himself the a gas pipe, then taking hold of the table lamp............
Would the electric shock from the table lamp be enough to reverse the previous conditioning? Well seeing as it's mains electricity, I should probably think so, and quite a desperate measure to have to take.

  1. The following is a comment which I have been asked to post on behalf of my good friend Arno.

    Things that crossed my mind: 1. Outer parts of a lamp like the column under tension. Even if the light bulb was flickering and maybe then broke. We're supposed to believe that? 2. The Village manipulated the lamp. Thus risking the life of the room service? 3. The lamp producer would have been legally sued. Imagine the court scene: the Village against company XYZ for selling dangerous electrical equipment. 4. What an awful piece of action. - Be seeing you!

    1. Hello Arno,

      You have been thinking outside the box, good. I hadn't thought of the idea that it might be the Village Administration manipulating the table lamp, that's a new one on me. And I like the idea of the Village Adminitrators in court against the manufacturers who produced the faulty table lamp. I'm sure they could have called upon No.2 as the Judge in 'once Upon A Time, or the President from 'Fall Out' to be excellent advocates on the part of the Village.
      This scene also shows another amenity in the Village, gas has also been laid on, as well as water and electricity. Does it mean there is a pipe-line leading from somewhere to the Village, or the Village has it's own Gas works?

      Kind Regards
