Information And Observation

    Instead of "Kosho" it should have been "Judo."

    As with the Generals office, so too should have been that of the Colonels in The Chimes of Big Ben. Yet with its "Naval" millitaria the Colonel's office is more meaningful to the Admiral, as in Admiral Hobbs, John Drake's superior in Danger Man.

    Actress Valerie French as Cathy-No.22 in Living In Harmony is wise to American Wild West films, having appeared in so many – ‘Decision at Sundown’ with Randolph Scott for one.

    If trampling a loudspeaker under foot does not stop the music..... If ripping the wiring and paper out of a teletype isn't enough to stop it from printing..... then perhaps obliterating the Village, wiping it off the face of the Earth won't be enough either!

    Actor Charles Lloyd Pack seems to excel at playing characters in wheelchairs, No.118 in ‘It’s Your Funeral’ and in the 1950's 'B' film ‘Cover Girl’ to name but two, as he has appeared in other films in wheelchairs, but their titles elude me for the moment.

    If there is no call for any other maps as the Shopkeeper told the Prisoner on the day of his arrival in the village. Why then is there a "map of the World" on the chamber all of the control Room?

    Today Gollywogs are frowned upon. So its just as well that No.6 placed a clown in full view of the camera at the end of ‘The Girl Who Was Death,’ and not a Gollywog, otherwise it would probably have to be "cut!"

    German stick hand grenades are thrown with the stick, and do not come apart as shown in ‘The Girl Who Was Death.’

    If No.6 had been unconscious during the third session of ‘A B & C,’ then he would not have been able to control his dream the way he did.

    12 hours in a crate, what about a call of nature?

    That frilly shirt worn by Pat McGoohan during the episode of ‘The Girl Who Was Death’ was also worn previously by David Bauer as the Judge in ‘Living In Harmony,’ and later by Alexis Kanner in ‘Fall Out.’

    Here is what Rachel Herbert had to say about her experience of the Prisoner.

   "I don't remember much about the actual filming. I expect I drove everybody wild with the Mini-Moke, I wasn't very adept at stopping it on the mark, but I cannot remember Patrick ever being impatient with me. I had a bad tooth all the time I was there. He was very nice to work with. The first evening I arrived in the Village he rang me to see if I was happy with my cottage. Apart from that he didn't have much time to speak to me during the Prisoner, he was extremely busy all the time I was in Portmeirion."

Is Number 2 Fit For Further Term?

    This is the face of a sadist who offer violence to anyone! He may not have thrown No.73 out of that hospital window, but he certainly frightened her enough to make her leap out of her hospital bed and out of the window to her death.

   It had not gone unobserved that No.73, have a few days ago, slit her wrists in an attempt to commit suicide. It appears that No.73 had not been happy here in the village. She had undergone several interrogation interviews with No.2, and it appears that having told all she could tell, No.73 had reached her breaking point, and jumped out of the hospital window to her death. But it was No.2 who drove her to it, make no bones about that.

  It is reported that No.2 saw himself as the "Hammer," and No.6 the "Anvil." But was we know hammer break before anvils, and so it proved with No.2, who was a weak link in the chain of command waiting to be broken.

   Now for all the worst he did, No.2 languishes in the psychiatric ward of the hospital. They give him some nice calming basket weaving to do, and a handful of pills at night to keep him quiet.

   I wonder why No.2, in his rage, din't strike the Butler, instead telling him to get out of the house!
