..........."It was trying to destroy the individual by every means possible; trying to break his spirit so that he accepts that he is a number - No.6 - and will live there happily after. But he is the one rebel they can't break."
Well that's as may be, but it wasn't long before this rebel can make a mistake. Indeed it was during the episode of 'The Chimes of Big Ben' that the Prisoner actually admitted to Nadia-No.8 as to who he was.
"No names. I am No.6, you are No.8."
So the evidence is clear, that the Prisoner accepted his number so early in the game. But then perhaps that was better than to actually give his name away. One wonders why he did not, after all Nadia Rakovski, if that was in fact her real name, told No.6 who she was. Well, the Prisoner has, in the past, been used to using pseudonyms. He could have told her that his name was Peter Smith, possibly as false as Nadia's!
