In
the episodes which have an out of The Village experience, all manner of people
unwittingly appear in ‘The Prisoner,’ none less so that the two schoolgirls
walking a few paces in front of Mr. X for example. I wonder if they ever
realized they appear in the series? They may have done had they watched it, and
recognized themselves. And the little boy standing there looking back, did he
recognize Patrick McGoohan, if that is indeed Patrick McGoohan, and thought him
to be Danger Man? This is another aspect of the series, and one which is hardly
ever touched upon. The unwitting passer-by who isn’t a film extra, but simply
the man, woman, or school children in the street, who appear in an episode of
the Prisoner simply because they are passing by at the time.
Be seeing you
