Time for Cakes and Ale
02/18/21 • 71 min
Welcome to The Tally Ho, a podcast about the classic TV series The Prisoner.
In this episode we had the pleasure of speaking to Dr Santiago Sanchez-Pagés about his new book 'No Soy Un Número' ('I Am Not a Number'), the world's first book written about The Prisoner in Castilian.
Ten years in the making, Santiago's book explores McGoohan's TV masterpiece in the cultural context of the 1960s in which it emerged, with fascinating insights into its cinematic influences and lasting impact.
'No Soy Un Número' is available now from Applehead Books. You can also find more of Santiago's writing on economics, politics and pop culture via his website.
Santiago is an Associate Professor in Economics at Kings College London and his latest academic work can be found on the university's website, and you can also follow him on Twitter.

Time for Cherry Pie and Coffee - The Stars Turn and a Time Presents Itself
Time for Cakes and Ale
06/06/19 • 63 min
Welcome to Time for Cherry Pie and Coffee, a podcast all about Twin Peaks. We have returned to the water and the well of Lynch/Frost's surreal vision to discuss some of the themes and ideas that have resonated with us in the months since The Return hit our screens. Each episode will use the given title of each 'part' of season 3 as a jumping-off point, and this time, we're talking The Stars Turn and a Time Presents Itself.
We'll be discussing the nature of temporal, spatial and astral perspectives that influence the views of not only the characters in Twin Peaks, but our understanding as the viewer. Are we really sure of what we are seeing around us? We look up and see the stars turn, but is it in fact the world we are in that is spinning? Be Seeing You... in the trees.

The Tally Ho talks The Prisoner and Twin Peaks
Time for Cakes and Ale
04/28/20 • 134 min
Welcome to The Tally Ho, a podcast about the classic TV series The Prisoner. In 2017 as Twin Peaks season 3 reached its conclusion and fans were looking for something else to experience, we wrote an article giving "10 Reasons why Twin Peaks fans should watch The Prisoner".
Fast forwarding two and a half years – and after more than 50 hours of Prisoner ramblings as part of our Tally Ho podcast – we felt it was time to discuss the links between these two seminal TV series in-depth. In this episode we talk about the influence that The Prisoner had on Twin Peaks and its co-creator Mark Frost, and examine the many thematic, structural and aesthetic connections that exist between our two favourite shows.
