Talk:The Village (The Prisoner)

message: From the article:
:The Village was based on British wartime internment camps where they held people with sensitive information.  It was primarily based on the camp at Invelair Lodge in Scotland.
Is this supposition, or do you have a cite for this? -- Karada 10:05, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: In one of the episodes where No.6 returns to London, he returns to assist British authorities in an aerial search for The Village, yet I seem to remember them using a map which appeared to depict the Argentinian coastline when doing that search.  I'd be interested to know all the different theories to the village's fictional location though. Ojw 01:53, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: What would prevent multiple identical Villages? It was established that #6 was moved to the Village while drugged. Why couldn't the controllers move one or more from one Village to another at their whim? wcf Facts are stubborn. Comments? 04:30, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

text: This is incorrect, the map they used and the radius to find The Village was centered around Europe and spanned to North Africa, the Atlantic, and some of the Middle East.
That does not preclude other Villages. It just means the map was derived from navigation he made from the Village he escaped from. What does preclude other Villages is that presumably the Prisoner makes acquaintances in the Village, and they would all have to be moved with him or he would mention them missing from a new Village. He doesn't.

thread_title:  Fictional location 

message: Maybe I need to watch it again but I thought Living In Harmony was a its-all-a-dream/drug-induced-hallucination kind of episode, so construction of an entire Westworld set near the Village would not necessarily be necessary!

message: This article could do with some citations, as it is almost entirely unreferenced.
Could also do with being organized differently. Would be good to have subheadings for different locations in the village. I may add to it myself in the future. David L Rattigan 13:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Citations & organization

message: There is a need to come to a concensus on whether to use "The Village" or "the Village".  There is a discussion on Talk:The Prisoner already, so I think that it should be discussed there.  I am making a note here so that those persons just watching this page (and not the other) will be notified. --Val42 22:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "The Village"

message: This article misses the point by a mile.  The Village isn't necessarily a physical location, it's also an allegory for the human condition.  Viriditas (talk) 10:07, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

message: "Danger Man"?  Shouldn't this be explained, or linked?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 21:50, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. I have added a Wikilink to Wikipedia's article on Danger Man. Thanks for raising this issue. HiLo48 (talk) 23:52, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Say what?

message: From "Fate:  "When last seen in the final episode, "Fall Out", the residents of the Village are evacuated by helicopter after Number Six primes a missile (located within a silo beneath the Village) to launch. The episode and the series never reveal what happens to the Village or its people after Number Six finally escapes."
It is also never revealed where the missile ends up.  
Always seemed like kind of a major loose end.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 22:05, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
