Talk:The Village (The Prisoner)

[edit] Based on

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)

[edit] Fictional location

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)

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)

[edit] Citations & organization

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)

[edit] Revisions

There was too much unsourced speculation in the article so I have revised it. The series never confirmed it was an island, so to say it was is incorrect. I removed the allegory section completely as it needs to be done with sources. Fan speculation should be left out if it; much better to include the opinions of McGoohan and George Markstein instead. 23skidoo 23:56, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "The Village"

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)

  • We don't need to have two sources from the same author, though. I've removed one to reduce duplication. (I've chosen to keep the published scripts one). 23skidoo 13:22, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
