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

Steven and Erika are back for a quick “thank you” to all our listeners and to tell you a bit about our thoughts on “Arrival”, the first episode of the 2009 AMC miniseries. We also point you over to the First Class Lounge feed for Incomparable members, where you can hear even more! Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven fall out over the way The Prisoner ends, but have enjoyed doing this podcast very much indeed. Be seeing you? Host Steven Schapansky and Erika Ensign.

Steven and Erika have made it to the penultimate episode of The Prisoner. Once upon a time, Erika enjoyed this show… Be seeing you! Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven DISAGREE. Like, a lot. Mostly because Erika doesn’t like fun. Be seeing you! Host Steven Schapansky and Erika Ensign.

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 Productions. We grill him about Big Finish’s audio re-imagining of The Prisoner and his personal history with the show. Two words: Orange Rover. Host Steven Schapansky and Erika Ensign with Nicholas Briggs.

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 Steven Schapansky.

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.

Steven and Erika watch another episode of The Prisoner. There was no change of mind for Erika since the last time she watched this one. Sadly. Be seeing you! Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

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 Schapansky and Erika Ensign.

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 Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.
