But he hasn't really got anywhere - he's having a good time teasing number 2, but that's all. He's still in the wretched place.

And thus every illogical sequence earlier in the story in explained because it was... a story! So meta and so clever. Easily the best of the "weird" episodes of the Prisoner. Shame I don't allow myself to award an episode 11 out of 10 Wink

You told me that wasn't allowed.

Well, it all made sense in the end, and it was quite amusing, but I prefer the episodes actually set in the Village.

He certainly seems to be having more success with his 'destroying from within' tactics than he did with the escaping.


Yeah, the weeks he's tried that tactic are the weeks where he's won. Love the little dig at No 2 at the end with the "goodbye children everywhere" remark at the end!

So presumably some people are having fun there...unless they kidnapped children as well?

First speedway meeting of the season is Thursday, March 24th, so I'll Be Seeing You again in October or November on Thursdays!

Can you imagine how warped a Village kid would be?

They might actually be the least warped - they would take it all in their stride.

Excellent. Hope your Speedway season is at least as good as 2023 was.

Be Seeing You next week, when we can watch the final two episodes. Again, no spoilers beforehand, but get the feeling we're going to be discussing them afterwards!
Vote Og.

OK, see you all next week for the grand finale!
 
M1795537OCVirn
Meanwhile, think up some suggestions for future rewatches!
Thanks for a fun evening in great company. See you next time.
