S1 E1 • Secret Experiment

Dr. John Brady is working at the Castle Hill government laboratory investigating the nature of refraction - his experiments achieve success when he is able to make a rat become invisible - but a leak in the containment chamber releases the radation into the lab, and Brady finds himself rendered completely invisible as well. At first put under lock and key by the government, he escapes and runs to his former colleague Dr. Crompton for help, but finds that the powers of invisibility have the potential to corrupt... The first episode begins very quickly, with Brady becoming invisible in the first moments. Fortunately they give time to introduce and develop Brady and his family before the action starts - already however, the 25 minute runtimes of these episodes starts to show itself, and the pacing does seem a little rushed.

Meanwhile the friend of his young neice begins to suspect that her stepfather is planning to murder her mother for the inheritence and pleads with Brady to help... After the interesting opening the episode falls into the trap of many of the Invisible Man stories, a typical detective story with Brady rather awkardly inserted, and getting to do very little that a completely visible person couldn't have done. Fortunately it does boast a rather thrilling climax sequence.

S1 E10 • Jailbreak

When the reformed career criminal is framed for an armed robbery and sent to prision again, he is determined to get free and prove his innocence and escapes 5 times before being recaptured. Curious about the story, Brady decides to investigate and helps the man to escape again to discover the truth behind the conviction... While Brady is often rather crudely written into stories, this episode has to include the most implausible reason to get the Invisible Man involved - reading of his story in the newspaper, Brady is so convinced that any man who can escape five times must be innocent, that he travels to the prision to help out. The rest of the story is a typical Brady as private detective storyline with very little on display that a fully visible detective could not have done.

Although another detective story, this time it is obviously written specifically for The Invisible Man and makes full use of his invisible talents for cheating in casinos.
