The Tally Ho - The Prisoner episode 3: A, B, and C

03/14/18 • 140 min

The Tally Ho welcomes you to The Village as we continue our journey through classic TV series The Prisoner. In this episode we look at A, B, and C, the third episode of The Prisoner. Number 6 (Patrick McGoohan) is the subject of a strange experiment overseen by Number 2 (Colin Gordon). In an attempt by The Village to discover the motivations behind his resignation, he is plunged into a dream world populated with figures from his past, induced by an untested drug developed by Number 14 (Sheila Allen). Join us as we discuss the episode, take a few detours into Chock-a-block and an episode of 1969's Counterstrike titled Nocturne, which writer Anthony Skene re-purposed from his own The Prisoner script.

We are also joined by broadcaster and Big Finish sound designer Iain Meadows who tells us why A, B, and C is one of his favourite episodes of The Prisoner. Be seeing you!

Time for Cherry Pie and Coffee talks to Chris Rodley

In this episode, we talk to documentary filmmaker and author Chris Rodley. Chris' Lynch on Lynch, an extensive collection of interviews, remains the most insightful text on David Lynch. Chris talked to us about the book, his interest in Lynch's body of work and of course, the director's recent return to Twin Peaks.

This is the second of a two-part interview. In the first installment, Chris joined us for our The Prisoner podcast, The Tally Ho, to discuss his recent documentary In My Mind about Patrick McGoohan and The Prisoner. The episodes have significant thematic overlap, so please check out both parts of the interview.

The Tally Ho - The Prisoner episode 4: Free For All

The Tally Ho welcomes you to The Village as we continue our journey through classic TV series The Prisoner. In this episode we look at Free For All, the fourth episode of The Prisoner. Number 6 (Patrick McGoohan) runs against Number 2 (Eric Portman) in the Village election. But a fair and free democracy is incompatible with the aims of the Village, and Number 6 finds himself manipulated into a power grab beyond his control. Join us as we discuss this satirical and surreal take on the relationship between politics and the people.

We are also joined by Alan Stevens, co-author of Fall Out: The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to The Prisoner, who talks about his interest in the show and his thoughts on Free For All. Be seeing you!
