Trivia / The Prisoner E5 "The Schizoid Man"

• Acting for Two: Patrick McGoohan as both Number Six and his double.
• What Could Have Been: The episode faced extensive rewrites, and removal of many of its action scenes. Notable scenes which were removed were a buggy race between Number Six/Curtis and a series of montages. The curious line "the atmosphere is very different here from what it was elsewhere" is revealed as a reference to a previous deleted scene. Escaping what seems a very sentient Rover, Number Six hangs on to a bracket containing one of the security cameras. The two men that arrive have been called after security noticed the excessive shaking on the camera. A chess scene was also removed.
