Checkmate (Number 11)


Listen Later

Happy Valentine's Day! Love is in certainly the air for Number 8 as she fawns over our hero in Checkmate. It's the penultimate episode of season/series 1, screenwriter Cai Ross and lecturer Chris Bainbridge are still trapped in the studio discussing the seventeen episodes of the prescient 1967 TV show, The Prisoner. The board is set, the pieces assembled and 'Chess for Beginners' has been consulted, the game begins! One of the most iconic and enduring episodes of The Prisoner is deconstructed, square by square, piece by piece. Regular feature Who's The Two looks at the career and influence of the legendary Peter Wyngarde; the man whose myths forged his own unique legend. As ever, your hosts will cast their critical eyes over the episode, with discussion on interpretation, trivia, humour and an exploration of the production process. The only Prisoner podcast produced in north Wales, home of the Village itself, Portmeirion.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
