Special Branch (TV Series) You Don't Exist (1969) User Reviews

Morrisey needed an episode.

[wnewman106 · 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.

Dreadful!!

A truly dreadful episode of special branch. Predictable in all departments. Nothing here that could not be guessed by a television watcher! The tussauds sequence felt unnecessary and evidence of a poor grip on storytelling ! The acting was ok but could not save this waste of fifty minutes!
