Kind Hearted No.6!

  Regarding Number 36 in ‘Its Your Funeral,’ whether she is the same character as Martha in ‘Many Happy Returns' or not, it would seem that Number 6 has a soft touch for “little old ladies,” as well as damsels in distress. I don’t somehow think Number 36 could be described as a damsel in distress, although she is in distress, because her weekly allowance has been all used up and so cannot buy her sweets. 36 cannot go a day without her sweets. Originally the script had cigarettes as being something Number 36 could not go a day without, and not sweets. And before there was 36, there came Number 38 during ‘The Chimes of Big Ben’ to whom Number 6 bought her tapestry with the special merit award of 2,000 free Work Units. This because he thought he would not be needing them, seeing as he was about to escape!

Be seeing you
