Warning: Spoilers
For those new viewers, I'd like to point out that it was very rare for a song from a big band (none bigger than the Beatles) to be featured in a TV show. It just wasn't done as far as I know. So as a 17 year old watching this and then "All you need is Love" coming out made my jaw drop. The masks at the trial; noticed that the black side of masks had the smile and white the frown. Dark comedy? Who knows? Throughout this episode I wondered (as did #6, I think) is this another more elaborate set up to break #6? To play to human weakness of wanting to be #1, top dog, etc.... electronic door at his old residence does lead to a "hmmmm" moment. I agree butler went in to be butler. I thought perhaps he was #1, as he was always there. "The butler did it". I wonder if Dennis Potter used tune Dem Bones in his Singing Detective as a suble homage to the prisoner. Good reviews, all you folks before my little additions
