in charge is called "The Colonel" (there is a further mention of "The Colonel" among his former associates in "Dance of the Dead"). The suggestion is that McGoohan wanted this to be the case here as well, but returned from Hollywood to find the character called Sir Charles Portland and "Colonel" attached to his own substitute. This is the only episode to reference a fiancée, adding an element to Number Six's backstory that is not hinted at in any previous episode (especially relevant to "Many Happy Returns" when Number Six actually escapes from The Village and returns to London) nor any that follow. Indeed, the finale episode, "Fall Out", hints at no significant other. Also the prior episode "Dance of the Dead" states that as far as the outside world is concerned, Number Six is dead. This is also the only Prisoner episode to show Number Six kissing a woman (although he is in another man's body, hence the scene did not involve the devoutly Catholic McGoohan). When The Prisoner awakens in his London flat unaware of the body/mind swap, a series of his thoughts, heard via a voice-over recorded by McGoohan, indicates that he believes he is still in the employ of British intelligence and is not considering resigning. Shortly thereafter, his fiancée arrives, and dialogue establishes that it has been one year to the day since he "disappeared." Therefore, his motive for quitting must have been something more than a general matter of principle, even though the very first Number Two, in "Arrival" indicates that to have been Number Six's "story". In the scene where Seltzman produces the letter that Number Six had sent him previously, Seltzman's Scottish address starts "Portmeirion Road", named after the location where The Prisoners exterior scenes were filmed. The high shots inside the Green Dome showing the screen with Number Six in the mind swap device incorporate obvious doubles for Number Two, The Colonel and Seltzman. The Colonel's double in particular is obvious with his thicker, darker hair. All of the shots of Number Six/The Colonel driving his Lotus Seven around London are stock footage, and clearly show Patrick McGoohan or his driving double behind the wheel. Some of the shots shown are from the opening credits to the series.
