Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Seltzman is talking to Number 2, there's a chair beside the tea cart with a foot rest, visible in the shots from behind Number 2. But when the camera angle changes to Seltzman's POV, the same chair appears in the shot - without its foot rest.

Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: There are many shots of The Colonel (whose mind has been switched with Number 6's mind) driving KAR 120C all around London. The footage is stock, shown in other episodes, and features either Number 6 or his stand in, but definitely not the Colonel.

Number 6: Unlike me, many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment, and will die here like rotten cabbages.

Living in Harmony - S1-E14

Trivia: This episode was not shown in the initial U.S. airing of "The Prisoner" on CBS. There was speculation that its pacifist, anti-violence moral might have been construed as a Vietnam War protest, but the network's reason for censoring the episode has never been disclosed.

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.
