Special Branch: You Don't Exist (1969)
Season 1, Episode 7
Morrisey needed an episode.
10 October 2011
Morrisey gets a girl friend and gets out of the office. We get a chance to see some London, but there is a contrived sub-plot about a Barrister having a heart attack and witness Morrisey needs to be in court a day earlier and can't be found as he's out with a stateless girl from Rhodesia. I would think a heart attack would occasion a delay rather than speed up the proceedings. Morrisey gets a chance to be the lead for a change and Mel Martin was attractive enough as the girl. There is an uncomfortable visit to an underground hippy dance club with drugs but it was obligatory in those days. Lots of angst about the UK's treatment of Rhodesia and Mel is the Unfortunate Innocent caught up in the struggle.
