The Prisoner's Question Time

  Constable "Now sir, can you tell me anything about that low loader lorry back there on the Thames embankment?"
   The Prisoner "What makes you think it's anything to do with me Officer?"
   "You were seen leaving the scene, with a Dwarf dressed in black tails, and another gentleman."
   "Yes, he is a bit of a give-away isn't he."
   "So sir, what can you tell me?"
   "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
   "Oh you'd be surprised by some of the tales we're told sir."

   The Prisoner "Ah I have it!"
    "Right sir, if you'd like to make a statement."
    "A true statement which could only be mine, but for you."
    "For my desk seargent actually sir."
    "Well it was like this you see Constable. Over a year ago I was abducted from my home, to wake up in my "home from home" in the Village."
    "A holiday home was it sir?"
    "Well it was no picnic!"
    "Abducted you say sir. This sounds serious."

  The Prisoner "There was this rocket you see....."
   "Rocket!"
   "Yes, it blasted off out of the cavern."
   "Cavern, the rocket was in a cavern?"
   "Yes, below the Village. Number 1 was still abord as it blasted off out of its silo."
   "Number 1? Where is this Village sir, and what happened to the rocket?"
   "Number 1 was me. The Village, well I'm not sure if I should tell you. It might be a confidential. Top secret."
   "A State secret sir?"
   "Yes, you've got it!"

    Constable "You said that you as Number 1 were in the rocket."
    "Ah, you're wondering what I'm doing here. Well that low loader lorry brought me here. As for Number 1, he could have been a clone, a doppleganger, or even Curtis. Its difficult to be sure."
   "So sir, you admit knowledge of the low loader lorry, now we're getting down to the nitty-gritty. Get it shifted!"
   "Don't be like that Constable. I've been through a raw ordeal!"

    The Prisoner "Look Constable, it was like this. the Village is down here, spread all about."
    "The rocket blew it up did it sir?"
    "No. But the flames, the heat, it must have been intense."
    "Who launched this rocket sir?"
    "I did."
    "Some sort of scientist are you sir, a nuclear scientist or rocketier?"
    "No."
    "Then how did you know how to launch the rocket?"
    "Its not diffcult."
    "You just lit the blue touch paper and stood back did you sir?"

   "And whoosh, it blasted off for god knows where."
   "Oh don;t look Ethel, it's only Patrick McGoohan larking about."
   "Must be somehting to do with that Danger Man."
   "No, it's the Prisoner."
   "Oh that!"
   "He is rather handsome isn't he."
   "Oh come on Ethel, I could do with a drink."
   "Never mind this rocket sir. What about the low loader lorry?"
   "I'll get to that in a minute. Let me tell you the time my mind was out in the body of another man.............."
