Thorpe is very sceptical about his ex-colleagues report about the Village, but is there more to this man than first meets the eye? Is it possible that he already knows of the existence of the village before his ex-colleague divulges the information about the village to him and the Colonel? If so, then Thorpe would be ideally placed to keep an eye on this former citizen of the Village, and be influential in seeing his ex-colleagues return there!
Thorpe might have been an influential agent in 'Many Happy Returns,' who used the information to have himself brought to the village and placed in a position only to one in the episode of 'Hammer Into Anvil.'
And it is now that we see the darker side to Thorpe, a darker side which we knew was there. A professional sadist, who takes enjoyment from tormenting others, who took enjoyment in torturing his ex-colleague. But who as it turned out, was merely a weak link in the chain of command waiting to be broken!
Fictionally speaking, Thorpe was brought to the village, and having been so, was determined to show that he could manage without any help, not even from his appointed assistant No.14. this No.2 would not be allowed to leave the Village, as soon he would be residing in the psychiatric ward of the hospital!
Be seeing you.....I may sand No.2 some flowers....daffodils!
