There is
something quite unique about ‘The Schizoid Man,’ it’s the only episode which is
supposed to take place in The Village yet only contains some stock film footage
of Portmeirion at the end! What the episode does rely on is interior sets of
buildings, sets of Portmeirion, and sets which are supposed to be in The
Village, as well as a back-lot at MGM film studios. I think the only rival
to ‘The Schizoid Man’ would be ‘The Girl Who Was Death’ which has one shot of
the beach and cliffs at Portmeirion, but that episode isn’t supposed to be
filmed anywhere near The Village! ‘The Schizoid Man’ has a good plot, however
the change in the colour of one blazer lets the plot down, even more than the
lack of Portmeirion content.
Be seeing you
