It’s
a bomb, that’s it, it must be a bomb! But it wasn’t a bomb at all, it was what
it looked like, a Cuckoo clock. Where did Number 2 imagine Number 6 would get a
bomb from? Number 2 did say in Dance of
The Dead that she would warn the doctor when Number 6 puts a bomb in his
lovely hospital. And there is a bomb in the next episode, It’s Your Funeral, so
it is possible to lay one’s hands on explosives in the village. If you know the
right people of course. I imagine the Watchmaker-Number 51 thought Number 100
had come by the explosive by foul means. Not a bit of it, I expect the interim
Number 2 gave it to him!
There is a film called Mark of the Phoenix in which the actor Martin Miller {Number 51 the
Watchmaker} plays a silversmith. Whenever I watch the film I cannot help but
think of that silversmith being the same character as the watchmaker.
But of course Number 2 is put under no
illusions about the bomb scare, there was no bomb threat, no explosive, it was
merely a bomb scare. But it made for a good practice drill, just in case the
real thing ever happened. I expect the new Number 2 in It’s Your Funeral called out bomb disposal to remove the bomb from
around his head and shoulders!
Be seeing you
