Observers Report

    It has been suggested by some, in the annals of appreciation for ‘the Prisoner,’ that The Village is located somewhere at the end of the A20, somewhere near London {I am well aware that I have covered this aspect before}. However The Village could be just as easily located at the other end of the A20, somewhere near Dover. This interpretation transpired because of the way the Scammell lorry crashes through the pair of wrought iron gates at the end of the tunnel, with the country road appearing to lead directly to the A20.

   Equally, on that basis, and working by the same rule, in the opening sequence when we see the Prisoner driving at speed along that deserted runway, and the way he then drives onto and across Westminster Bridge, that would have to make the runway somewhere in the City of Westminster!!!
