While the series has surreal elements, he believes it provides the answers to all the questions which have confounded viewers: who is Number 6? Who runs The Village? Who--or what--is Number 1? According to Cox, the key is to view the series in the order in which the episodes were made, not in the order of the UK or US television screenings. In this book he does exactly that, and provides an entirely original and controversial \"explanation\" for what is perhaps the best, and certainly the most perplexing, TV series of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlex Cox\u003c\/b\u003e is responsible for directing a host of acclaimed films from \u003ci\u003eRepo Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSid \u0026amp; Nancy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStraight to Hell\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWalker, \u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Highway Patrolman \u003c\/i\u003eto\u003ci\u003e Death\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eand the Compass\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRevenger's Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSearchers 2.0\u003c\/i\u003e.
