Goofs
Given the title the plot location is in New York City's Central Park. However, there are many shots of palm trees and Los Angeles buildings. The production crew seems to have made no effort in disguising the location good. Perhaps they should have named the episode, "The Phantom Of Griffith Park."

9/10

Beautifully done final episode in the series.

Very melancholy tale this,but it is well presented( as indeed the whole series is) and it is so atmospheric( the music helps),it really has a eraly 70s vibe,as much as anything i have ever seen i would say. The story involves a man who sells his soul to keep youthful and it moves along at just tge right place. David Soul really brings a sense of sadness to the role( as does Victor Jory) and Sheila Larken is excellent as the flower child, young woman that falls for David Soul. This was the last episode and it certainly left me wanting more.
