Ever since seeing The Chimes of Big Ben, Leo McKern had been my favorite Number Two. Although some came close, most of the others seemed to pale in comparison to him. So it goes without saying I was most pleased to see this particular Number Two return. And his performance here blows away anything he did in Chimes.
If Lew Grade had not allowed Fall Out to be made, would you be happy having this ep as the final one?
In the episode "Arrival", Number 6's birthdate is given as on 19th of March, 1928. In this ep, Number 6 regresses through the various stages of his life. On such stage, is his career as bomber pilot during World War II. Uh.... If the Prisoner was born in 1928, he'd've been awfully young to have been a bomber pilot. The oldest he could have been is 17 years old and that's at the end of the war. Is that truly reasonable?
Be seeing you.
At one point, No. 6 is playing the role of a POW and No. 2 is a German officer. Suddenly, No. 6 says, "Zero go" (the signal for dropping the bombs in the previous scene). No. 2 says, "How dare you..." and starts speaking English again. This seems to be the point where No. 6 regained his senses. He said he was hungry and no longer refused to speak the number six. My question is, what's so significant about "zero go"? Why did No. 2 seem so upset about that phrase and how did it prompt No. 6 to wake up?
