During
‘The Chimes of Big Ben,’ Number 6 and Nadia set sail in a boat they had built
from the pieces of Number 6’s abstract sculpture. They were supposed to have
been sailing 30 miles from Lithuania
on the Baltic to the Polish coast. However later in the series we discover that
this is impossible, seeing as The Village is nowhere near the Baltic
Sea, let alone Lithuania.
So where exactly was Number 6 and Nadia sailing? For myself The Village is
somewhere along the coast of Portugal,
and that is where they were sailing, along the coast of Portugal.
Let me ask you what’s wrong with this
picture.
the boat is facing the wrong way! Even if Number 6 and Nadia were
sailing along the coast of Kaliningrad
to the Polish coast, they are travelling in the wrong direction! They should be
travelling in a southerly direction, when in fact they are sailing in a
northerly direction. And if they carried on that course, it would have been the
coast of Latvia
which they were sailing along!
However this is purely academic,
seeing the reality is, that when Nadia points out the cave to Number 6, it is the Warren
near the Battle of Britain memorial, near Folkestone.

Not necessarily northerly. It could be a penisula or a cape around which they are sailing. - BCNU!
ReplyDeleteHello Arno,
DeleteYes it could be, and at one point they would have had to have sailed around a peninsula before encountering the coast of Poland. But even so, the boat would is still be facing the wrong way when viewed from the sea. Viewd from the land I look at it in simple terms. After setting sail, Number 6 could have turned left along the coat after clearing the mouth of the estury.
Vey kind regards

Perhaps the film was projected the wrong way - err... You're bloody well right! - BCNU!
