During
Number 6's speech in the Council Chamber in ‘Free For All,‘ when he’s
addressing the so called "tailors dummies," meaning the members of
the Town Council, he holds up the latest issue of The Tally Ho and asks "Is
this, is this how they tried to break you ‘til they got what they were
after?" Which is fair enough, until we come to a scene in ‘Once Upon A
Time’ - during which Number 2 is reviewing the progress report on Number 6 via
the Department of Visual Records. In that same clip of film taken from ‘Free
For All,’ when he is heard to ask the “tailors dummies" “Is this how they
started to break you before you gave them what they were after?" We know
that Number 2 is a past master of the manipulation of the community, but really
what would be the point in altering a speech made by Number 6? No, its more
likely to be more mundane than that. Most likely Patrick McGoohan either dubbed
over that original line. Or the scene was filmed for a second take, and the
out-take was used in the scene for ‘Once Upon A Time.’
Be seeing you
Hello David,
ReplyDeleteor maybe Number 2 took a glance into another time the Prisoner spent in the Village. ;)
Although the explanation that there were two shots or a line overdubbed is far more likely. Admittedly.

Hello Jana,
Delete"Maybe Number 2 took a glance into another time the Prisoner spent in the Village."
That idea I like, and the most interesting.
Very best wishes

It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone." - BCNU there!
