S1 • E6 Oct 25, 1958 30mBarbara Crane, a respected theatre actress, finds herself the subject of bribery after accidentally running down a man on a clifftop road. Worried by the events she starts to perform badly, and a suspicious Brady decides to investigate further, discovering that there is more than simple blackmail going on...
This sixth episode is another example of some of the problems that begin to emerge later in the series. Although a cleverly written mystery story, the Invisible Man himself is very crudely inserted and gets little to do. Unfortunately the episode's short runtime prevents enough characterisation being developed, for the story to actually be solvable by the audience; the writers also seem to miss a key point - when Brady's foolish actions lead to a man being killed, he barely bats an eyelid.
