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 Change of Mind, the twelfth episode of The Prisoner. Number 6 (Patrick McGoohan) is hauled before the Village committee on charges of being "unmutual", an anti-social member of the community. Unable and unwilling to engage with the process that is expected to rehabilitate him, he faces the prospect of undergoing "instant social conversion" at the hands of the Village surgeons. Join us as we discuss this episode which touches on political show trials, social isolation and mob mentality. Be seeing you! Find us on Twitter @TFCAA Part of the Time for Cakes and Ale podcast.
