The Therapy Zone

Its Inexplicable!

   That No.6 should know that the head of the Professor lying quietly asleep in his bed, was actually a bust, and not in fact the Professor at all. I mean he took a terrible risk if he had got it wrong.

    I have often wondered what had made No.6 so suspicious in the first place, so as to bring that walking stick down on the Professor's head like that. And you see, even after these 43 years, there are still things in the Prisoner which will forever remain unanswered.

 

Madame Professor

   She was as surprised as anyone to see No.6 bring that walking stick down upon her husbands head, only to discover that it was made from some form of plastic or resin. And seeing Madam Professor's surprise, would be an indication that she had not in fact made that copy of her husbands head!

   I have often wondered in the past whether or not it was Madam Professor who had made that bust of her husband. But no, I don't think she did. I mean to say, just look at the look of shock on this poor woman's face.

Free For All

   All had gone according to plan, right down to the beating Number 2 took at the fists of the two mechanics. And "they" knew that Number 6 should receive such a beating because there was an ambulance with a Red Cross trailer in tow parked near the steps of the Green Dome when they took the newly elected new Number 2 to his new residence of the Green Dome. And seeing as how an ambulance was standing by, it follows that a pair of medical orderly’s were already on hand to stretcher Number 6 from the Green Dome, down the steps, across the street, across the square to his own residence of 6 Private, as we witnessed.

  A Change Of Mind

   We are all familiar with the scene which follows No.86's denouncement of No.2 as being unmutual. In the way No.2 rushes off the balcony, and runs through the streets of the village, and up the steps of the Green Dome. Yet originally the script described the scene immediately after No.86's denouncement of No.2 being unmutual as;

    "No.2, his peasant face flushed with anger, turns and after a further glare at the smiling p {prisoner}, rushes past from the balcony.

Number 2 approaches Number 86.

No.2 is dragging to the very edge of the square. It is still too public for him to be really rough with her. But he nevertheless strikes her across the face with barely controlled anger.
