Generally Speaking!
Number 2 told Madam Professor that he and
Number 6 are old friends, meaning they had previously met in ‘A B and C.’ And
yet in ‘The General’ Number 2 is very much relaxed, he’s in confident mood, self-assured.
When asked who he is? “The new Number
Two” he states with authority. Yet when it comes to ‘A B and C’ he’s Number 2
nervous, and his former confidence has been knocked out of him. He’s a little
fraught, nervous, under pressure, and he’s not indispensable! Judging by Number
2’s mood change, it would have been more consistent had ‘The General’ featured
in the series before ‘A B and C,’ the two episodes then running consecutively,
especially when it comes to being simply Number 2 in ‘A B and C’ and the new Number 2 in ‘The General.’ The one
can go before the other, but not the other way around. Although with Number 2
saying in ‘The General’ that he and Number 6 are old fiends, that does suggest
they have met previously, in ‘A B and C.’ And yet there is a question mark in
The Tally Ho about Number 2’s fitness for a further term in office, that
further term being in ‘The General.’ However there is another way of looking at
it, had ‘The General’ featured in the series before ‘A B and C,’ and those two
episodes had run consecutively, it might seem that Number 2’s term in office
had run its course over two episodes, and would not have affected the question
over Number 2’s fitness for a further term unless there was a question of a
third term in office!
