It’s Your Funeral

    The Appreciation day ceremony was so special, that the Appreciation day monument displaying the word ACHIEVEMENT was quickly removed from it's position from beneath the balcony of the Gloriette, and moved someplace else, well out of sight. Possibly having been consigned to the scrapheap, as we never see it again.

    I know that No.6 was involved originally in the plot to assassinate/execute the retiring No.2. The reason being why they selected No.6, a matter of credibility, without which the plan might backfire. Well it did, didn't it, and for all concerned, save for No.51-Monique and her father No.50, oh and No.6 of course.

   One would have thought that by the time of Its Your Funeral, they would have learned not to underestimate No.6. Because without No.6's credibility the plan might have failed. Yet because of his involvement the plan did fail!

   So why pick on No.6 in th first place? Surely there are others that would have proved just as credible as No.6, and then the plan might just have even worked, had No.6 not been involved. But perhaps it was a case of there being no-one else who would play along with the plot. After all No.6 did take some convincing, and that in itself should have warned No.1. But then in his persistance to get No.6 interested, the foundations of failure had been laid.

Fall Out

    No.6 asks the ex-No.2 if he had ever met No.1? Face to face? No.2 laughed at such an idea "Meet Him!"

    Well even if No.2 had not met No.1 face to face, he had certainly spoken with No.1 on several occasions, and so he must have known No.1's voice. and if he recognised No.1's voice, and then compared it to the voice of No.6....... Then surely No.2 knew exactly who No.1 was. Yet in Fall Out he didn't seem to know at all "Look me in the eye, whoever you are, whatever you are."

Ah, if only there had been more continuity between the episodes. Then it all might have been a very different story!

Have You Noticed How the Village

   Has two cafes and two graveyards, but no church? I shouldn't have thought there was much call for two cafes in the village, the one of Arrival and the one seen in The General, Hammer Into Anvil, and Its Your Funeral. Mind you, the second cafe isn't in the village at all, but then again it is if you see what I mean, not the actual village that is. Seeing as how tea, coffee and the like are also served down on the lawn of the Old Peoples Home as well.

   And that's a funny place to have a graveyard - on a beach, as seen in Arrival! If the sand were to shift, as it does from time to time, then the dead would rise up, perhaps in time for the Dance of the Dead!

Be seeing you
