Number 6, having apparently come to his
senses, steals a Jet boat, and in having fought off the two motor mechanics
attempts to escape, while being pursued by Number 2 in the helicopter. The
person throwing himself overboard into the water boat is not Patrick McGoohan,
but a local man to Porthmadog, who played the role of Number 6 at the wheel of
the boat and eventually ended up in the water, because Patrick McGoohan couldn’t
go into the water at that time as he had an ear infection.
I like the character of Number 58, she is quite
charming. As for her character of Number 2, I’d hate to think what she’d like
to do to Number 6. I bet she could think of many ways and means to bring hurt
and pain to him!
I don’t think Number 6 was goaded into
standing for election. I like to think it was a mixture of gentle persuasion
and Number 6’s predictability. They knew that Number 6 wouldn’t be able to
resist standing for office, because the vote for No.6 placard, and other
placards had already been fabricated. Its interesting how Number 6 told the
electorate that he intended to discover who the prisoners and who the warders,
but it isn’t until ‘Checkmate’ that he discovers who some of them are!
Be seeing you
