Every day in the Village can cert...Hello Moor,<br /><br /> Every day in the Village can certainly seem like the day before, and the day that is yet to come. <br /> In the Village 'the Prisoner' is almost timeless, while outside the Village 'the prisoner' can be dated, especially in London during 'Fall Out.'<br /> The geographic location of the Vilage has been put to much debate over the years, thought to be on the Baltic, but No.6 proves that not to be the case during his sea voyage in 'Many Happy Returns.' If No.6 had put to sea on his open raft in the Baltic he wouldn't have lasted a day, especially in the month of February, he would definately have died from exposure, hyperthermia. It was bad enough that he should have to venture into the Alantic Ocean, perhaps even the Bay of Biscay which can enjoy at times 65 foot waves, aboard that open raft.<br /> <br /> Yes indeed who can be sure of what date it is in the Village at any one time? Certainly Feb 10th was manipulated, because about a month or so after it was still Feb 10th, depending of course how long it took No.6 to grow a full beard.<br /><br /> "Is No.2 Fit For Further Term?" meaning No.2 of 'Hammer Into Anvil' yes it could relate to him. I've a feeling that that particular No.2 ended up on the psychiatric wing of the hospital!<br /><br />Regards<br />David.<br />Be seeing youDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-44478219741203386622012-02-10T09:37:25.418+00:002012-02-10T09:37:25.418+00:00It's like every day can be Feb 10 in the villa...It's like every day can be Feb 10 in the village...... :-D<br /><br />I wonder how much importance we should place on Time, as described by the village. We know from the episode with Janet that No6 had been absent from the real world for about a year, but who knows how time is manipulated in the village? No6 spends half his time being drugged and can only know that the date is whatever they tell him it is. The geography of the village is important in this regard too perhaps. If No6 was in the village in the Baltic, February weather should be snow and ice, whereas in the village off the coast of Morocco then February would be more balmy. If he was in the village off the coast of Kent, then the weather could be almost either.. :-D<br /><br />Having said that, the writers did seem to want to have their cake and eat it (as Mrs.Butterworth would say) because they made Time crucial to more than one plot.<br /><br />That headline might equally easily have fitted the Hammer into Anvil episode too I suppose.Moor Larkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275057917684784541noreply@blogger.com
