Ah! To distinguish the blacks from the whites. Who can be trusted, who not?

One does wonder what happens when a piece is 'taken'. I know how Servalan would play this game...

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!

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!)
