By
the time of this episode, Number 6, who at night used to keep his wristwatch on
the bedside table, has taken to wearing it in bed at night. Also the two
day-date calendars in Number 6’s cottage have been removed, after the devices
had been so important in ‘The Schizoid Man.’
Also The Village has a milk deliver
service, a milkman driving a milk float, however in this case its likely a
garden tractor towing a trailer, probably with a logo on the side such as
‘Pinta Man Is Strong,’ or ‘Drinka Pinta Milk A day, or ‘Village Milk Is Better
Milk.’ How do we know there is a milk round operating in The Village? The night
before, Number 6 had put his empty milk bottle on the doorstep ready for
collection.
And the loudspeaker which Number 6 couldn’t
switch off in ‘Arrival’ and found so annoying during ‘The Chimes of Big Ben’
now he misses it when the music is not there. Because he picks it up and shakes
it, in case its broken!
The café was locked, I wonder if the
General Store was locked as well, so that Number 6 had to break in? And after
his unceremonious return to The Village, was he made to pay that receipt for
964 work units he wrote on the counter?
‘What Are Facts Behind Town Hall?’ Well
that’s the headline, but there is no main article to accompany it, not like
there is with ‘No.6 Speaks His Mind,’ or ‘Increase Vigilance Call From No.2.’
Be seeing you
