The Schizoid Man


Oh, no, no, no....
You may be a Schizoid Man,
but I am THE Schizoid Man --

The Original, You Might Say..!!

THE PRISONER, "SCHIZOID MAN" No kissing!!!!

" Terence Feely takes up the story: "The mind reading device? It was a way of getting round Pat's refusal ever to kiss a girl on screen. The girl was supposed to be able to distinguish Number Six from his double by kissing them, first one then the other. 

Pat said he wasn't going to do it and that was that. 

I therefore had to substitute a cerebral or psychic sympathy for a carnal one and being interested in the paranormal, I recalled Professor Rhine, of blessed memory, and used one of his telepathic card-reading experiments. 

Actually, I thought Christmas had come early for me because that would have been my chosen solution for the scene anyway, but I was sure I couldn't sell it — as in any other show I couldn't have — but here it was the dish of the day."
