He set himself up as the hero, and his
deadly enemy The Girl who would love him to death if given the chance! But what
exactly did Number 2 expect to gain from Number 6 telling three children a
fairytale? He did expect Number 6 to at least drop his guard with children, but
that still doesn’t explain what it was he hoped to hear Number 6 tell the
children. Yes the idea was to set Number 6 up as a child minder, and all
children like to be told a story at bed time. But Number 2 couldn’t have known
what format Number 6’s story would take, what story he would tell. It could
have been Goldilocks and the three bears for all Number 2 knew. So was it
simply a case of wait and see in the hope that Number 6 would reveal something
about himself to the children which he wouldn’t reveal to adults? And yet he
did, he revealed a part of his former life, not only to those three children,
but to everyone who was watching, the
kind of work he carried out during his previous employment while working for
British Military Intelligence, or depending on how you look at it, Lew Grade
and ITC Entertainment!
As it is Number 6 told his fairytale to the
three children without duress, or the influence of any form of drug. In fact as
he spun his yarn Number 6 was in complete control. He knew what he was doing,
who was watching and listening, so was he just clowning around with them, or is
there more to it than that? He did look into the camera and say “Goodnight
Children…everywhere.” Which gives the indication that it wasn’t only Number 2
and Number 10 he was treating as children, but also the television viewer in
general!
“Well Number
Two, it was worth a try!”
Be seeing you
