If it's me you're speaking of but we can agree here. But the case is more difficult. In fact it has one at the beginning of the story with the spy who is abducted to some strange place. No one would doubt that. Or else one is inclined to assume it was all a fantasy or a dream or a hallucination. It has been argued so in the past. It isn't before "Fall Out" that the Village, I’m firmly convinced, becomes sort of a mental manifestation. Hence it hardly makes sense trying to detect the "real" location, next to London, in the Baltics or southwest of Morocco. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-55695949262302947032015-01-19T16:41:29.917+00:002015-01-19T16:41:29.917+00:00I do not know why you are being so aggressively de...I do not know why you are being so aggressively defensive, Jana. I simply made a short comment about The Prisoner, about the people who insist that it must have a physical location, when clearly it doesn't, that's all.

If the Village, as insinuated, was really located in the greater and densly populated London area - imagine the all the buzzing, the rumours that would be going round if the Village was actually destroyed and blasted off. I am inclined to believe that it wasn't destroyed, also for financial reasons. But what about THE SEA, THE MOUNTAINS then? Where would those geographical features have been? - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.com
