Through drugs and hypnosis Number 6 is taken back to the womb to relive his life, guided by Number 6 - it is a journey that only one of them will survive…

Notes:
*Featuring Number 6

*Working title: ‘Degree Absolute’

*Although this episode was transmitted as the sixteenth episode it was the thirteenth to be filmed; an eighth-month gap in production ocurred between these last two episodes (which is the real reason why Leo McKern has no beard - he shaved it off, and so the shaving scene was added to explain it!)
