The Chimes of Big Ben

     Number 6 is told to meet Number 2 at the hospital. Strange that Number 6 should do as he’s told. Number 2 wonders if Number 6 he can help him. Number 6 asks “How?”

   "Well you've probably got to know No.8 better than anyone while she's been here....."

   What's Number 2 talking about, Number 8's only been in The Village five minutes! But then thinking about it again ‘The Chimes of Big Ben’ is six weeks in length, so there would be a longer passage of time between Number 8’s arrival in The Village and her interrogation at the hospital than is imagined or shown on the screen. There is more that takes place in The Village than we are privy to, and that carries through the whole series.
