I AM NUMBER TWO (EASY ON THE COMMENTS!)

If there's any one TV character I'd like to be, it would Number Two from 'The Prisoner' - but the one played by Leo McKern. (It's a Toobworld Central theory that he's the identical twin brother to Horace Rumpole, but Horace never liked to speak of him.....)

This scene goes a long way to showing why I like his performance so much. It's broad strokes and subtle gestures and the timbre and cadence of his speech......






As Number Two himself says:

BCnU!
