We’ll never know of course, because there is no-way of knowing. But I wonder if the Prisoner recognised the face of the Colonel staring back at him when he looked in the mirror? What’s more, when he did look in the mirror, he could see certain events that had happened to him since his arrival in the Village. These events are played out on the television screen for the benefit of the viewer. But as far as the Prisoner is concerned, I thought all unpleasant memories of the Village had been wiped before he was returned to London
And yet this isn’t the first time that the Prisoner has gazed deeply into a mirror and everything is revealed to him. He did it once before, that time in No.12’s cottage in ‘The Schizoid Man!’
Be seeing you
