Jan 11th, 2018 30m 53s

In November, 2017, Steven and Erika attended L.I. Who (Long Island’s Doctor Who convention) and took the opportunity to sit down with Nicholas Briggs. You may know Nick as the voice of the Daleks, but he is also executive producer at Big Finish

In The Village: "Living in Harmony" (TeeVee 367)

Dec 29th, 2017 32m 58s

Steven and Erika go on for quite a while about this unique episode of a unique series. Welcome to the old west — a place Erika doesn’t generally like to find herself, but The Prisoner breaks all the rules! Be seeing you! Host Erika Ensign and

In The Village: "Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling" (TeeVee 365)

Dec 24th, 2017 21m 16s

Erika and Steven dig into what’s almost an AU episode of The Prisoner. It doesn’t really fit the continuity of the show, but does that matter? Not when it’s an episode this interesting. Be seeing you! Host Steven Schapansky and Erika Ensign.

In The Village: "A Change of Mind" (TeeVee 360)

Dec 15th, 2017 16m 57s

In The Village: "It's Your Funeral" (TeeVee 358)

Dec 8th, 2017 25m 58s

Erika and Steven discuss multiple theories about multiple number 2s. And Erika disagrees with received fan wisdom (to no one’s surprise). She also gets to use the word “oleaginous”, which is always a good time. Be seeing you! Host Steven Schap

In The Village: "Hammer into Anvil" (TeeVee 353)

Dec 1st, 2017 19m 31s

Steven and Erika enjoy seeing our hero succeed at something for a change. And to do it so deviously? Lovely. Lovely enough to forgive the lack of cosplay options. And Steven was right; “It’s Your Funeral” is the next ep. Be seeing you! Host E

In The Village: "Checkmate" (TeeVee 350)

Nov 24th, 2017 16m 27s

Erika and Steven discuss one of the more straightforward episodes of The Prisoner. Straightforwardly. Be seeing you! Host Steven Schapansky and Erika Ensign.

In The Village: "Dance of the Dead" (TeeVee 347)

Nov 17th, 2017 25m 1s

Steven and Erika try (and largely fail) to make sense of “Dance of the Dead”, but we have many reasons why this episode should be earlier and later than “Many Happy Returns” (not to mention many other eps). At least there are lovely costumes t

In The Village: "Many Happy Returns" (TeeVee 342)

Nov 10th, 2017 27m 29s

Erika and Steven return to The Village to talk about one of their favorite episodes of the whole series. Does it accomplish anything? Does that even matter? We also uncover “the flapjack agenda”. We’re going way down the rabbit hole on this on

In The Village: "The General" (TeeVee 337)

Nov 3rd, 2017 27m 33s

Steven and Erika get very specific about “The General”. Down with scary computers and rote learning! Up with drapes and top hats and sunglasses! Be seeing you! Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

In The Village: "The Schizoid Man" (TeeVee 328)

Oct 27th, 2017 36m 31s

Erika and Steven are pretty sure who they are, but not entirely sure how and why everything in this episode happens as it does. Ready for some headcanon? Because we have some to spare. Just like with number 6’s, two headcanons are better than o

In The Village: "Free For All" (TeeVee 322)

Oct 20th, 2017 31m 35s

Steven and Erika provide a PSA on the importance of checking your microphone input fully and thoroughly before recording. Just because you’re hearing your voices through headphones that are plugged into the mic, it doesn’t mean that mic is the

In The Village: "A. B. and C." (TeeVee 315)

Oct 13th, 2017 23m 13s

Erika and Steven finally talk about one of the most important aspects of the entire show: the font. Also, about the deep insight we get into the mind of our hero — without actually learning anything beyond how formidable an opponent he can be.

In The Village: "The Chimes of Big Ben" (TeeVee 309)

Oct 6th, 2017 24m 56s

Steven and Erika are homesick (visitor-sick? tourist-sick?) for London. Though maybe not as much as our hero. But look where that gets him. The controversy over the “proper” viewing order for The Prisoner are starting already. Erika has feelin

In The Village: "Arrival" (TeeVee 304)

Sep 29th, 2017 36m 39s

Erika and Steven find themselves in The Village, along with a dashing, confused, bemused, resourceful super-spy. The 60s are swinging, and so is our hero’s sense of whom he can trust. Your hosts, however, know we can trust this series to enter

In The Village: Introduction (TeeVee 292)

Sep 5th, 2017 5m 48s

Steven and Erika of Lazy Doctor Who fame(?) launch a new effort covering the colourful, psychadelic, trippy, wtf-is-happening spy-fi series that is 1967’s The Prisoner. The world premiere of The Prisoner happened 50 years ago today — in Canada
