The Prisoner (1967)
0 visible crew/equipment mistake in show generally
Starring: Patrick McGoohan, Angelo Muscat, Peter Swanwick
I'm afraid there's nothing listed for this season. Add something here!
Continuity mistake: The Villager Rover attacks changes outfits several times between shots. He's wearing a striped sweater that turns into a pink jacket that turns back into the sweater, etc.
Number Two: I'm the boss.
Number 6: No. One is the boss.
Trivia: The bizarrely existential ending of the series, which answered none of the questions posed by earlier episodes (but rather seemed to say, "The answer is there is no answer!") upset viewers so much that Patrick McGoohan says he was forced to go into hiding. His phone had been ringing constantly and people who'd found his address were banging on his door to complain.
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.
