Points Of Note

    So they hadn't burnt the Prisoner’s suit after all, and the doctor in ‘Arrival’ told him they had! they had given to that patient to wear, the bald headed on with cigarette papers stuck on his scalp! Yes and during ‘Dance of the Dead’ the Prisoner’s suit was specially delivered to him for the occasion of the ball that evening. But then they must have taken it back again soon after the ball of ‘Dance of the Dead,’ because it was waiting for him on that dummy in the cloak room in ‘Fall Out.’

"We thought" said the supervisor-No.28, "that you would be happier as yourself."

    And those Juke Boxes along that passageway, one of which used to be found in my local cafe back in the seventies. Were they all really playing that Beatles song "All You Need Is Love?" And while we are on the subject of that underground passage way. The Butler, he seems to know more about what's going on than he lets on. I mean how come he's got the key to the welcome door? I've just watched the footage of the three of them walking along that underground passage way, and I didn't see the supervisor hand that key to him. So the butler must have had the key in his pocket it all the time. Which only confirms to me that the Butler knows much more about the village and what goes on than he admits to. Not that the butler admits to anything!

    And that door which the Butler unlocks and opens into the cavern, the words WELL COME are on the opposite side of the door which means the Prisoner, butler and supervisor are not being welcomed into the cavern. So seeing the words of WELL COME are on the cavern side of the door, people are being welcomed to the village. Suggesting another way in which people are brought to the village other than by helicopter. Probably the way the milk, the potatoes, the ice cream and aspirins arrive at night!

    And then there was that assassination plot during ‘It’s Your Funeral,’ that bomb concealed within that "seal of office" hung about the head and shoulders of the retiring Number 2. Did the assassins, or rather those involved with this assassination/execution, really think that the retiring Number 2 would have been the only one to die, or at least be injured if not fatally so? No, all the lives of those standing on that balcony, the Top-Hat officials and the heir presumptive, and not forgetting the butler. Certainly blood, brains and guts, bone and human flesh would have been everywhere and over those citizens gathered below the balcony of the Gloriette. Had the bomb actually been detonated, panic would have reigned supreme!

    Looking at Living In Harmony again, I grow more and more possitive that we are seeing the first Reality Role playing game. In the way that none of the action is really taking place, only in the mind of Number 6. And in the way microphones are used, cardboard cut-outs, and how the action takes place with only Number 6 actually in the town of Harmony.

    The exploding lighthouse as seen in 'The Girl Who Was Death' is actually stock-footage from Thunderbirds.

    There are numerous aspects to the Prisoner series, including mild pronography! Pictures probbaly cut out of 'Parade' magazine! Yes, just take a look at one of the cabin walls aboard the gun runners boat in 'Many Happy Returns,' pictures of semi naked girls!

Be seeing you
