American tourist Cathy More is staying at an English hotel . One morning at breakfast she asks if anyone has seen her travelling companion Jane but the staff tell her that she arrived alone without anyone and they have no knowledge of Jane . Cathy is adamant she did arrive with Jane and the police are called to investigate
Once you ignore the obsession this show has trying to appeal to an American audience - a slight problem it shares with JOURNEY TO THE UNKNOWN where the entire population of America seems to be visiting the UK - this is a relatively intriguing story for the most part with a clever idea of a lone woman finding herself surrounded by potentially hostile locals and cynical sceptical police detectives and like so many episodes we're treated to some well known British character actors
I say " for the most part " because what lets the episode down is the last ten minutes where the story feels the need to talk down to the audience explaining the plot in great detail . It's becoming very clear that THRILLER isn't going to be known as a show of sophisticated subtly and any intricate plotting has to be explained to the audience while in some episodes some things remain unexplained . The plot has to rely on implausible contrivance and while being blackly comical lets the entire episode down a fair bit
