Thought For The Day

   When in ‘A B and C’ Number 2 said that they’d researched and computed the Prisoner’s whole life, was he referring to a time before the Prisoner’s abduction to The Village? Because Number 2 in ‘Arrival’ already had an almost complete file on the Prisoner’s life, save for the time of his birth, only that was a ploy on the part of Number 2, to get the Prisoner to give away a piece of information with the idea that the reason behind his resignation would follow. It didn’t! Also the Manager of the Labour Exchange in ;’Free For All’ said they had everything about Number 6, they even knew that he had given up sugar four years and three months before. So it would seem those behind The Village had even gained access to Number 6’s medical records! Perhaps if they had access to the Prisoner’s letter of resignation, they might have learned something from that, even presented him with it! Or had Number 2 of ‘A B and C’ had Number 6’s former life researched and computed again especially for that episode, which gives the appearance of being the case. But if so why carry out such research a second time, when all Number 2 had to do was read Number 6’s file, seeing as they already know everything about him, save for the reason behind his resignation that is! It seems the only reason behind ‘A B and C,’ is for Number 2 to discover the reason behind the Prisoner’s resignation, so that his file can be brought up to date!
