Visible crew/equipment: When Number 6 is listening to classical music in the listening booth, each time he puts his head into the booth (after switching records) there is a specific shot behind his shoulder where you can see the heads of two crew members reflected in the glass of the listening booth. This happens 3 times and is very visible on Blu-ray. (00:10:33)

Number 6: No. One is the boss.

Trivia: This episode's writing credit reads "Paddy Fitz." This was one of many pseudonyms Patrick McGoohan used in writing, directing and producing most of the series himself. "Fitz" was borrowed from his mother's maiden name, Fitzpatrick.
Question: What exactly was Rover? Was it some sort of automated robot?

Chosen answer: We're led to believe Rover is some kind of robot in the series. According to books on the show, Patrick McGoohan was looking for an unusual guardian for the Village, looked up at the sky, and saw a weather balloon, which was what Rover was.
