Rover is a great effect Where does he come from under the sea - a sort of rover nest? Bubbles of baby rovers attached to the sea floor? Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

And the gods play games with the lives of men.... The Gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice.... And someone way down here, loses someone dear. |

Why am I reminded of Headhunter??
I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

Makes me wonder: all staff is English speaking. Some with a light accent, bur still... Who or what is behind this all?

Why am I reminded of Headhunter?? It's the coloured capes. They're a bit like Muller's costume. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Peter Wyngarde was a great choice as No 2! This can't be too long after he whipped Diana Rigg in the Avengers, but quite a while before he came to a sticky end in Flash Gordon! Vote Og.

Why don't the other people have blazers like him and #2? Why does only #2 have The Scarf?

Here Nr 6 is willing to act and depend on others, that seems a bit out of character. He should not trust anyone and he knows that.

Oh this is not just a chess game, it's combined with a love game! Will it work with Nr 6? *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

They really wanted to show off Portmerion in this episode (although, few people knew where it was until it was put on screen in the final episode - I think many people thought it was a glorious set!)
