They could have simply given No.6 a truth drug, but I suppose with the use of that there might have been a danger of damaging the mind. But having said that, they used all manner of other types of drugs on No.6. <br /> A friend of mine once suggested that they could have got No.6 drunk, and that could have taken place either in the Cat and Mouse nightclub, or The Therapy Zone, and No.6 would have talked his head off without damaging the tissue. Sometimes I wonder that the reason why they wanted to know why the Prisoner had resigned, was to bring his file up to date!<br /> Physically it is impossible for No.6 to be No.1 in the early episodes of 'the Prisoner,' even No.6 cannot physically be in two places at the same time! So really I don't think it's No.1 on the other end of that red telephone, but someone else superior to No.2.<br /> No.6 is important to No.2 and the Administration, because he's seen to have a future with them, the Village to be handed over to him...... possibly.<br /> No.6 may not have died, but certainly he was made to suffer! It was very popular at that time to have the hero suffer, to be tortured and beaten up. McGill in 'Man In A Suitcase' was always getting beaten up. Harry Palmer in 'The Ipcress file' was mentally tortured in an attempt to condition his mind, as a couple of examples.<br /><br />Very kind regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-37544597399096621842013-10-27T20:11:55.433+00:002013-10-27T20:11:55.433+00:00"Why was No.2's hands tied...?" - An..."Why was No.2's hands tied...?" - Answer 1: If they "damaged the tissue" by employing raw torture the subject may have died. Answer 2: By that time one must have known that there's only little value in forcibly, by torture, extracted answers. Answer 3: Suppose that PMcG knew early on who No. 1 was going to be there must have been somebody else but himself (being No. 1) "behind" the Village authorities who would keep a watchful eye on No. 6. But why was he so precious? What was it that he could have known, or done, that "they" didn't know or wouldn't be able to avert? Answer 4: For a popular TV series having the main character suffer or even die is (almost) nonsensical. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.com
