Don't miss this one

More twists and turns than usual in this episode of a highly underrated TV series. Zena Walker's performance as the ruthless schemer is all the more impressive given she forgoes any overtly emotional expressions... either visually or verbally. I was reminded of Phyllis Dietrichson in "Double Indemnity" at times. Kenneth Cope is surprisingly convincing as a villain - but what's that car he's driving? Looks like it's from the 1920s! One or two holes in the storyline, non-sequiturs, if you like, but these shows mustn't be judged too harshly. Budgets were low and shooting time was extremely tight. Great entertainment - perfect for passing an hour on a wet Tuesday afternoon (as I did). Not quite my favourite episode (that remains "Flat Two") but up there in the top 5.
