"Living in Harmony" UK Airing: December 29, 1967 US Airing: No Network Airing The Prisoner is trapped in a town called Harmony after trying to resign as the sheriff of another town. Sound familiar? It does to the viewer, but the Prisoner isn't twigging to what's happening. John and writer Jim Beard discuss the Western and what it means to each of them, the completely wasted opportunity in the writing of the ending of the story, and the symbolism of washing hands.

"Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling" UK Airing: December 22, 1967 US Airing: August 3, 1968 The Prisoner finds himself in another body, but back in London. He must convince the woman he loves that he is himself while tracking down the man who invented the process that put him in another body. John and writer Jim Beard discuss Jim's wanting to remove this episode from the entirety of the series, John's only real issue with it being the end scene, and a possible explanation for The Prisoner's hostility to women.

"A Change of Mind" UK Airing: December 15, 1967 US Airing: August 24, 1968 The Prisoner is subjected to a process that will lobotomize him when he refuses to conform with the Village and its people. John and writer Jim Beard discuss the episode that on the surface, is a perfect example of what the show is all about. And yet, there are elements that the two have issues with, and they discuss it in detail on this podcast.

"It's Your Funeral" UK Airing: December 8, 1967 US Airing: August 10, 1968 The Prisoner learns of a plot to kill Number Two on the eve of his retirement. Does he act on it or does he allow it to proceed? John and writer Jim Beard discuss the episode that has its good and bad points.  They talk about the idea of previous Number Twos we haven't seen, the strong ties to Doctor Who's "Marco Polo", and the question of if it's worth bringing The Prisoner to your side by this stage in the series.

"Hammer Into Anvil" UK Airing: December 1, 1967 US Airing: August 31, 1968   The Prisoner matches wits with the new Number Two as Two tries to be the Hammer to The Prisoner's Anvil.  But who is really the Hammer?   John and writer Jim Beard discuss the impact this episode had on Jim as a young person and why it is a favorite of Jim's father.

"Checkmate" UK Airing: November 24, 1967 US Airing: August 17, 1968   The Prisoner appears to have the upper hand as he manages to recruit a team to aid him in his quest to escape. But is a woman who loves him a little too easily the mole in the escape group or is the Prisoner just another pawn in a game he cannot win? John and writer Jim Beard discuss what many consider a quintessential episode of the series and your two hosts agree. There is also a level of humor that we don't often see in the series, but it works.

"Dance of the Dead" UK Airing: November 17, 1967 US Airing: July 27, 1968 Normally, we include a brief synopsis of the episode to remind folks what it is we are talking about, but John and writer Jim Beard found themselves hard pressed to determine what exactly the plot was of this story. It appears that this is made up of several story threads that never really seem to come together in a satisfying way. Many argue that The Prisoner was weird for weird's sake and this episode could make a strong case for that.

Tonight I look at the '60s television show the prisoner and how it's more relevant today than when it aired.

After making sure it isn't a trick, he sets out to escape and makes his way back to London where his only ally is the woman who now lives in his home and drives his car. John and writer Jim Beard discuss this unusual episode in detail, including a comparison with "The Chimes of Big Ben", the appeal of Georgina Cookson as Number Two and The Prisoner's Lotus Seven.

"The General" UK Airing: November 3, 1967 US Airing: July 13, 1968   The Prisoner goes on a quest to find "The General", the force behind a learning method that is being adopted by the entire Village.  But what is the purpose of this learning method and why does it seem more devious than it first appears? John and writer Jim Beard discuss applied learning techniques, the music of the series, and the types of episodes one finds in this series in an episode that does not match John's memories of watching it growing up and has never been a favorite of Jim's.

"The Schizoid Man" UK Airing: October 27, 1967 US Airing: July 6, 1968 The Prisoner awakens to find himself in a new home with a new look and everyone calling him Number Twelve.  And who is this Number Six who looks exactly like him?

"Free For All" UK Airing: October 20, 1967 US Airing: June 29, 1968   The Prisoner is thrust into the politics of the Village as he runs for the position of Number Two.

Chris Slattery, Christopher G. Moore, and John Slattery review The Mandalorian Season 1 Episode 6 titled "The Prisoner" airing on Disney+.

"I am not a number, I am free man!" or so the prisoner known only as no. 6 tells his captors in the mysterious Village. One of the most infamous shows of the '60s, The Prisoner has confounded viewers since its 1967 debut, with its message of individualism, and its groovy psychedelic production.

Deadly Games, from *The Prisoner* to “Move Along Home.” A product of the same era as the original Star Trek, the short-lived British drama The Prisoner was, in many ways, more in touch with the psychedelic spirit of the age. Now considered a cult classic, this bizarre blend of spy thriller and existential science fiction remains as puzzling half a century on as when it was first broadcast. It has also been hugely influential, not least on Star Trek itself. One episode in particular, Deep Space Nine’s “Move Along Home,” took its inspiration from an iconic scene in “Checkmate,” an episode of The Prisoner in which a game of chess is played with living human pieces. In this episode of Primitive Culture, host Duncan Barrett is joined by Tony Black to look back at the legacy of The Prisoner, comparing this iconic TV show to its contemporary—Star Trek: The Original Series—and asking why the writers of Deep Space Nine tried—and, arguably, failed—to capture the quintessential weirdness in their own, somewhat baffling, episode. We then consider the overall role of games in Star Trek storytelling, comparing the Wadi in “Move Along Home” to the Empire of Azad in Iain M. Banks 1988 novel The Player of Games, asking whether the way a character wins or loses can offer a window into their soul.

Greetings listeners! We’re rerunning this episode of the podcast in honor of Karim Al-Zand’s recent premiere of the new work, “The Prisoner,” at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in Santa Cruz, California. The piece was inspired by the writings of a Guantanamo Bay prisoner.  This episode is about something else: pattern preludes. Pattern preludes are enigmas inside of conundrums wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. No – wait. That’s not right… Pattern preludes, according to composer Karim Al-Zand’s website, are, “…pieces constrained by a single idea (usually a rhythmic or textural ostinato) through which a composer expresses a narrowly focused thought. Patterning is especially well-suited to preludes, which are by convention short, concise and introductory.” Bach, Chopin, Debussy, and others wrote pattern preludes. These little pieces function as a tool by which classical music newbies can get to know a composer’s style. Learn aaall about them in this episode! Music in this episode: Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier C major prelude book 1 Chopin’s C major Etude, Op 10, No.1, played by Vladimir Ashkenazy Chopin/Bach, played by Kana Mimaki Al-Zand Pattern Prelude No. 1 (after Bach), played by DiLiberto Schumann Album Leaves Op. 124, No. 17, played by Denes Varjon Audio production by Todd “Titters” Hulslander with alliteration from Dacia Clay.
