Why don't the other people have blazers like him and #2? Why does only #2 have The Scarf?

There are some quite casually dressed, sun hats and a 2 piece costume....a class system?

It is so they can pick him out in a crowd


That can't be the reason. Why only him/him?

I think that number 6's blazer is a bit like Avon's silver jacket - it says he's not a team player.


So #2 isn't either?

Here Nr 6 is willing to act and depend on others, that seems a bit out of character. He should not trust anyone and he knows that.

I don't think he is.

Wyngarde is always suave no matter what he wears

Oh this is not just a chess game, it's combined with a love game!
Will it work with Nr 6?

Yellow alert!

I wonder if that would involve changing the bulb? (another Red Dwarf reference).
Vote Og.

PRODDY TOOLS!

They really wanted to show off Portmerion in this episode (although, few people knew where it was until it was put on screen in the final episode - I think many people thought it was a glorious set!)
Vote Og.

Steady!

No 6 is about as romantic (or rather not) as a certain computer expert!

I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

Rosalie C looking SO young!
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
OneSparePart
This IS less weird. 6's words to that woman are the most ordinary spoken in the show.

No 6 does spend an awful lot of time in his dressing gown!

When's someone actually going to make a move (chess - wise) ?
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Nuke all bathing huts!

It's the obvious move if they're on the beach and you can't see them.

Bit of mystery music then on the shoreline

They won't get much information out of 6 when he's glowing green...

Yup, rather than escaping, bring a rescue ship to the village!
Vote Og.
 
M1795537OCVirn
You're one of them?? Of course he is. They all have blazers and the plebs don't.

That was good!

The Balloon wins again!

I found that very thought provoking. That's why I was thinking so much.
