Its Particular Who It Lets In.......

................ This Is the town Hall!

    It has been heavily debated between fans of the Prisoner regarding the two episodes ‘Free For All’ and ‘Dance of the Dead,’ not in which position they should appear in the screening order, but which came first?

   In ‘Free For All’ No.6, as a candidate for the forthcoming election, has been invited to attend the dissolution of the out-going Town Council by No.2. No.6 asks his driver, No.58 to take him to the Town Hall. But unable to make No.58 understand, No.6 walks, walks to the electronic "Free Information" board in order to find the location of the Town Hall, as he doesn't know where it is!

    In ‘Dance of the Dead’ No.6 follows his observer No.240 to a large foreboding building which No.240 enters, and as No.6 follows he is stopped dead in his tracks by an unseen electrical force field. A gardener working nearby tells No.6 "You tried to go in, by mistake? This is the Town Hall, its fussy who it lets in!"

   And it is this statement that has defined the problem for many fans of ‘the Prisoner,’ because it would appear that we have two episodes in which No.6 doesn't know where the Town Hall is, although No.6 had actually been in the Town Hall during Free for All.’ So naturally ‘Free For All’ must surely appear before ‘Dance of the Dead’ in the screening order. ah, but in ‘Dance of the Dead’ No.6 didn't know that it was the Town Hall, because it took the gardener to tell him. Well, that's fair enough, but the gardener probably had no idea that No.6 had actually been in the Town Hall previously. So it was not that No.6 didn't know it was the Town Hall which took him by surprise, but it was the electrical force field he encountered which had taken No.6 by surprise!

The Old Peoples Home

    I like the Town Hall, Cafe, the Hospital, Citizens Advice Bureau, and General Store, the Old people’s home is an un-numbered building. So logically thinking, all the rooms inside must be numbered for the residents.

    Did you know, that each original, or now Mathmos Astro, or Lava lamps if you prefer, do not behave the same. Each one is as individualistic as you and I.
