But what, if anything, did #6 achieve? Number 2 changes every week. Meanwhile, he's still stuck in Portmerion.


He's destorying the village from within!


I agree that's the aim, but he hasn't actually done much towards it by getting rid of a #2. He's done that before, too.

Sort of - we are not introducing the new number 2, apparently.

Nigel Stock. Almost royalty for the telly

You'd almost think they only have stock footage of No 6 this week because Patrick McGoohan was away making a film!
Vote Og.

Another long shot stand in for nigel stock this time

Grabbing number 6 by brute force - that's a bit crude, isn't it?

This number 2 reminds me of Jeff Tracy!

Nigel Stock simply can't pull this off... it doesn't feel like he's actually No 6. Just chance of a mind swap, but a personality one too!

Why is the music playing bits of 'My bonnie lies over the ocean'? Is it significant??

'Tis one of those episodes - there's on in almost every series - where they re-use clips of previous episodes. The real question is - why? Budget considerations? Filming overran the time available? Someone quit (or died) mid- filming??

We've still got the one in the Wild West, and the one with the girl who tries to poison him . . . Might it be better to say that this is where it REALLY starts to get weird?

What about the one with cricket and a London pub by the Thames? Or have I imagined that?

I don't remember that - unless it's the poisoning one, that was in London I think - but I'm sure you haven't.
