* SpecialEffectFailure: All the close-up shots of Number 6's face on the carnival location are in front of obvious back-projection. This is because Creator/Patrick McGoohan was not present at the location shoot as he had had to return to Hollywood to complete filming on ''Film/IceStationZebra''[[note]]he had shot most of his scenes for that film during the production of "[[Recap/ThePrisonerE13DoNotForsakeMeOhMyDarling Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling]]", hence his near-total absence from that episode[[/note]] so the location scenes used a body double whose face was never clearly shown on the actual location interspersed with close-ups of McGoohan in front of back-projection.

* BizarroEpisode: The episode wasn't even devised as a ''Prisoner'' episode but was based upon a leftover script for ''Series/DangerMan'' (for which it would have been a bizarro episode, too). The episode, however, isn't completely bizarro as it was simply Number Six telling a group of Village children a bedtime story. However, the presence of children in the Village (hitherto and afterwards never referenced) makes the episode a bizarro in another way.
