IN
THE PRISONER: In "The Girl Who Was Death", Number Six follows
Death to a busy funfair.
IN REALITY: The fairground sequences were jointly filmed at the Kursaal Funfair in Southend, and Battersea funfair. Battersea Funfair opened as the Festival Pleasure Gardens in 1951 (as part of the Festival of Britain) and sadly closed in the mid-1970s. Two books about the Battersea and Kursaal Funfairs have recently been published, and are available from http://www.joylandbooks.com
