Unknown terror

No one seems to have noticed, but this episode is directed by Leslie Norman, who gave us in the past THE LONG THE SHORT AND THE TALL, a terrific war movie, but also another outstanding scien fiction film called X THE UNKNOWN. Well, this episode is maybe not, but nearly the replicant of the X THE UNKNOWN tale, at least very close. Back to sci-fi for this sixth season, back to the Diana Rigg era.
