'''No.2:''' Information.
'''Prisoner:''' Whose side are you on?
'''No.2:''' That would be telling. We want information... information... information!
'''Prisoner:''' You won't get it!
'''No.2:''' By hook or by crook... we will.

'''No.2:''' <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Evil Laugh]] or Mocking Laugh, depending on the New No.2] }}
A celebrated 1967 British [[Science Fiction]] drama with [[Spy Drama]] elements, filmed in [[Wales|Portmeirion, Wales]] and produced by and starring [[Patrick McGoohan]]

The characters:
Line 179 ⟶ 178:
* [[Salvage Pirates]]: episode "[http://tinyurl.com/4gj59w Many Happy Returns]". Number 6 escapes the Village on a raft and encounters a <s>fishing</s> gun-running boat whose crew steals his belongings. He ends up fighting them and eventually captures them.
* [[Sauna of Death]]: With Number 6 trapped inside. In "The Girl Who Was Death".
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The Village. [
* [[Shout-Out]] (in the series):
** In "The Girl Who Was Death," Number Six receives his orders in a manner mimicking that of Jim Phelps in ''[[Mission: Impossible (TV series)||Mission Impossible]]''.
Line 222 ⟶ 221:
** Alexis Kanner played Number 48, "The Kid", and an unmamed photographer in different episodes.
** Also Patrick Cargill, who played a British government official in "Many Happy Returns", and Number 2 in "Hammer into Anvil".
** Christopher Benjamin appears as different characters in "Arrival" and "The Girl Who Was Death", and in the latter actually reprises a character named Potter that he played in an episode of ''[[Danger Man]]
** Colin Gordon appears as No. 2 in the episodes "A, B and C" and "The General" and aside from McKern is the only actor to play No. 2 more than once. However, given the nature of the series, there is actually a case to be made that Gordon is playing two ''different'' No. 2's, if one compares elements such as characterization. The one-off appearance of Village workers in "Arrival" who look exactly the same (possibly twins, possibly clones) is cited as possible evidence in support.
*** The Colin Gordon question may depend on which order you watch the episodes. If "A, B and C" is seen before "The General", as it was during the show's original run, they may be different. If that order is reversed, they appear to be the same character who goes from highly confident to desperate to avoid punishment for failure.
