Observers Report

    The episode of ‘Many Happy Returns’ is the first episode to break the custom of revealing the identity of Number 2. Although Number 2 at the end of the episode turns out to be Mrs. Butterworth. And yet the voice of Number 2 during the opening sequence is of a man, what’s more there is a man sitting in Number 2’s chair. So perhaps Mrs. Butterworth is the new Number 2, having been involved in this episode but at the London end, living in No.1 Buckingham Place waiting for Number 6 to arrive home. Then having been brought to The Village in time for Number 6’s return home.
