A Character Witness!

   At his trial during the ‘Dance of the Dead’, the Prisoner asks for a character witness to be brought before the court. A character witness in the shape of Roland Walter Dutton. The trouble was though, the doctor-No.40 had gone too far in his experiments to get Dutton to reveal more information. Of course Dutton had already told all he knew, and there was no further information he could give. and so we witness the result of the good doctor-No.40's experiments.

     I wonder why the Prisoner didn't ask for his old colleague Chambers to be a character witness instead of Roland Walter Dutton? After all, sometime before his own abduction to the village, the prisoner had tried to get Chambers, late of the foreign office to change his mind before the "big boys" found out. And so talkative! But it seems that Chambers is nowhere to be found, and that Dutton was easy to hand, and the only available person to say the things which needed to be said, at the time of the trial of the Prisoner.
