Sixty Seconds With Citizen No.2

    There are a small number of 2’s that can be liked, there are others who are downright brutal. Those who make good administrators, interrogators, and whilst some remain in office for a few weeks, others are gone within a matter of hours. This particular Number 2 for me, is the worst of the lot! He gives me the shivers! For a large man he has a dainty way of nibbling on a shortcake biscuit. Mind you Number 6 nibbles on an ice cream cone in much the same way! He has a fondness for sayings, the slowest mule is nearest the whip for example. He wants to steal the minds of the citizens, oh not to drain it of information, or to condition it by brainwashing. Never mind the fact he wants to discover the reason behind Number 6’s resignation, he wants to make all the citizens docile! Lucky for the citizens that Number 6 out manoeuvred him, with the help of Number 86. What happened to him at the end is unknown, having been chased back to his office he might have found safety behind those blast proof doors. Had the pursuing citizens caught up with him, it seems likely he would have undergone the full personality change through Instant Social Conversion.

    1. Yes, and with that exceptionally brutal No.56 leading the mob!

  2. I would have to say that the No. 2 from "Hammer Into Anvil" (Patrick Cargill) is the nastiest. It was a particular pleasure to see him bested by No. 6!

    Who is the most likeable No. 2? I guess I would say the very first in the series (Guy Doleman), from the first half of "Arrival"; possibly only because he was instructed to make No. 6 feel welcome in the Village?

    1. Hello Enik1138,
      I actually feel sorry for No.2 of 'Hammer Into Anvil' at the end of the episode. The worst I can say about this No.2 is that he's a bully, and bullies are invariably cowards. I know the opening scene gives the impression, but No.2 never really harmed No.73. In fact she didn't leap out of bed and through the hospital window to her death until No.6 came bursting into the room.

      The most likeable No.2? I would say No.2 of 'Chimes of Big Ben.' Because all he has to do is be pleasant, bring No.6 and Nadia together, and oversee they escape The Village unhindered!

      Be seeing you
