Burglar Bert Morgan is arrested, Corder is called to assess him. Bert has a strange MO, he breaks into houses and does something very strange with the clocks.
Yet another interesting and intriguing episode, once again this show feels like it's well ahead of its time, so many ideas and themes that just weren't commonplace, it's as if someone on the writing team has insight into several decades on. Is Bert possibly dealing with a bit of OCD?
It's all been happening to poor Doctor Corder, he's been accused of sexual assault, now he's held at gun point, he really does get into some trouble. Herbert Lom is terrific here as always, what a remarkable actor. Great scene where Corder treats Bert, the pair chat about his tough childhood.
Some well known faces, Melvyn Hayes is definitely the star of the show, and he is great as Bert, it's a skilful performance. Warren Mitchell, Gerald James and the wonderful Fabia Drake all impress.
Quality episode.
8/10.
