Trivia:
In this episode the location of The Village is given as an island somewhere in the North Atlantic off Africa and Iberia, in contradiction with "The Chimes of Big Ben" in which it is claimed to be on the Baltic coast of Lithuania (although this is shown to just be a ruse), and with "Fall Out" in which it is shown to be within driving distance of London. more

A Personal Comment On "Many Happy Returns", 2 September 2006
9/10

A personal comment on "Many Happy Returns".

In this episode, Number 6 escapes from the Village, and returns to England.

Near the end of the episode, while trying to locate the Village from a DeHavilland Meteor jet fighter, he gets "ejected" out of the aircraft and parachutes back into the Village. When I saw that the first time, my insides just died. I mean I knew he would end up back in the Village somehow. But if it had been ME descending back into that place I would have *snapped* right then and there.

Just my two cents. Be seeing you...
