The Announcer/Telephone Operator (voice only) Notes The photograph of Number Six on his election poster is the same as that used for his former role as a spy that is seen being filed away at the beginning of almost all episodes. It was also, at the time, actor Patrick McGoohan's official publicity picture. Although there is no strict or established running order for the series, Six's line "I'm new here!" indicates that this story is an early one, probably taking place after 'Arrival' and 'Dance Of The Dead' as #3 of the 17 episodes. Two scenes were edited prior to the transmission of the episode. The first was an extension of the nightclub scene, showing Six further losing his temper and loudly singing the 'Vote For Me' song heard in the cave scene. The second was a removal of the worst of the beating Six receives at the end of the story. This scene was restored to its proper length for reruns and home media releases, whereas the deleted nightclub footage appears to have been lost.
