I can understand how visually Pat
McGoohan had to show who was Number 1 in the conclusion to the series. However
the fact that he made Number 1 the alter ego of Number 6 whom he was trying to
beat, that worst enemy which each of us has, does make it a psychological
problem more than a physical one. Physically it is impossible to meet one’s
alter ego, perhaps Number 6 should have been alone in the control room of the
rocket went he went to face Number 1. He could have stood there talking to
himself, much in the same way Randall does when speaking to Marty Hopkirk
{deceased}, because only Randall can see Marty’s ghost. But then I suppose that
approach would have made a mockery of the whole thing. So physically who was
Number 1?
Be seeing you
