"Who is Number One?!" "You are Number Six."

And why did McGoohan use the number "six" for his character?

The Prisoner, without question one of the most intriguing, compelling and demanding shows to ever grace the "idiot box" was shot through with all manner of Christian thought and allegory. But who knew that McGoohan was a Calvinist?!

Well, I guess we shouldn't read too much into this. But it is fun to imagine....

    He tells you the answer to the riddle at the opening of every show.

    "Who is Number One?" Answer: "You are, Number Six." See how much difference a comma makes?

  • @Synth3t1cs - Got it dude, even before I was able to post the explanation. Not surprised though. Pray for you all the time; sensing that Aslan is on the move in your heart. (Eric)
