The Therapy Zone

Information And Observations

    I was wondering just the other day, how come the Lotus Elan was the car driven by Mr. X in ‘The Girl Was Death,’ when Patrick McGoohan had originally rejected the car in favour of the Lotus 7?

    If London was to lie in ruins, how come it would be possible for the girl to have Bond Street, the Scottish Marshall to have Wembley football stadium, and the Marshals together to have Chelsea barracks? With a Neutron bomb that would be possible, but not with an ordinary warhead. But then I suppose we are talking about a fairy tale... aren’t we?

    The Mini-Moke was originally designed for the army in 1964, but failed as an all terrain vehicle. Its best performance is on tarmac or any hard surface.

    The scene from the Bell Ten helicopter seen in the episode ‘The Girl Who Was Death’ is of a cliff and beach area of the village-Portmeirion.

    Strange how it is the students who chase down the Professor on the beach, this instead of the two prefects who come across No.6 playing truant on the beach in The General.

    It took four security guards to carry the struggling No.6 out of his cottage, across the square to the waiting Red-Cross trailer. But once No.6 had been placed inside the Red-Cross trailer he was lying unrestrained. Had he been drugged, or coshed into unconsciousness by one of the guards?

    Of course Killer Kaminski, the 207 pound giant, isn't Polish at all, he's Irish! Well boxers in such boxing booths at that time, such as Barney's - Boxing Booth were all ex-boxers who were well passed their prime, but who for showmanship, were given a more exotic identity for the punters benefit.

    During the fight in the Bell Tower when the searchlight crew were attacked by No.6 and his confederates during the evening of ‘Checkmate.’ One of the searchlight crew is punched from the Bell Tower and lands with a splash at its base. Well this effect is simply for the viewer, as those who know Portmeirion well, there is no water anywhere near the Bell Tower.

    It wasn't the drink that did for No.2 in the embryo room during ‘Once Upon A Time,’ as No.6 drank from the same bottle. Unless of course No.2's glass had been laced previously. And you will recall that the steel door is "time locked" and there was only three people in the embryo room at the time, which can lead to only one conclusion, that the Butler did it!

    When the Prisoner is explaining to both the Colonel and Thorpe about the Village in Many Happy Returns, in that the village has its own cinema, its own television station...... well we know the sort of television programmes which are transmitted, educational ones. But what films are screened in the village cinema I wonder.... The Great Escape perhaps?

    There is irony in the Village, this when during ‘The Chimes of Big Ben’ No.6 and No.8-Nadia attempted to escape by sea. At the end as No.6 is returning to his cottage there is a public announcement that the local council has organised a new great competition - seascapes! That announcement just seems to rub salt into the wound - don't you think?

    The Lotus 7, now Caterham Super Seven, is seen as something of a  rebellious car in its nature. But if there is one thing that can calm such a rebellious nature it is speed humps in the road, and the winter, such a car is not one for the winter months - that's two!

   The Village is so much front, with its holiday camp atmosphere for one, and its Town council for another, supposedly elected once a year. So many brainwashed imbeciles on the town council posing as subdivided No.2's, but who have no vote nor say in council matters, with no charge or responsibility. There is no further business at this time.

Village Salute?

    It is during the election of Free For All that my photographic colleague No.113b was out and about taking photographs of the electorate. There was a frenzy of excitement after No.6's opening speech from the Gloriette, and it was soon after that this photograph was taken. But why has the man with the penny farthing bicycle picked out for special attention by my photographic colleague? Because at the time when photograph was taken, this man was giving a Nazi salute!

    Although at the moment when the photograph was taken, this Nazi salute is not prominent. However this man can be clearly seen on surveillance film footage during the election giving a Nazi salute! It is probable that this old Nazi has been brought to the village for the knowledge inside his head, and not for his own protection. It should be a timely reminder to No.2 that this is the village and not Spandau prison!

In A Change of Mind - Number 6 Likes To Keep Himself Fit For Any Contingency.

   If it wasn't for these two hoodlums, coming back to have their revenge on No.6 for their first beating in the woods. Because only a few moments previous, No.6 was unable to hit the punch bag, and he really struggled at the start of that fist fight. But as the fight went on No.6's agression and adrenaline flowed, and it is this which helped counter the effects of the tranquilliser drug Mytol. And thereby turning the tables on No.2!

   Just a thought.
