Village Life!


    Engadine “You’re not John Drake are you?”
    ZM73 “John Drake?”
    “You look like him.”
    “They say everyone has a doppelganger somewhere in the world.”
    “That’s what he said.”
    “Who John Drake?”
    “No Curtis.”
    “Curtis?”
    “Yes, he looks like you.”
    “Not John Drake?”
    “He looks like both of you!”
    “Unfortunate!”
    “Unfortunate?”
    “To have one doppelganger in the world, may be regarded as a misfortune. To have two would be consider calamitous!”

    I’m going to re-watch A, B & C over the Xmas holidays as I’ve not seen it for a while. It’s a very clever episode, and I suppose a good idea to try and get into No. 6’s dreams to find out why he resigned.
    I will also be going to some dreamy parties over Xmas, so I will have to get my lovely party gowns ready. You never know, I may even meet my very own Mr Tuxedo!
    Wishing you a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    1. Dear Nadia,
      A B and C' is indeed a very clever episode, and Colin Gordon is in my top three of favourite Number 2's. Poor old Number 2, he spent so much time having the Prisoner's life researched and computed that he was running out of time, having been only given three days to achieve a result. I've often thought why only three days? Well its the three doses of the drug that limits him, three is dangerous enough, four would kill him!
      The doctor and Number 2 get into Number 6's dreams by inception, have you seen that film? It's a little Prisoneresque!

      Enjoy your dreamy parties over Christmas.
      Wishing you a very merry and joyful Christmas, and a happy and healthy New Year.
      David
      Be seeing you
