I watched this BBC supernatural/SF/espionage series for the first time since 1979 and I felt about it pretty much as I remember feeling at the time; it's full of promise but nearly always falls short of delivering anything satisfying, to the point that it ends up petering out completely. I probably enjoyed the location footage of Edinburgh (complete with the old waxworks in the High Street and the pre-renovation Zoo) more than I did the actual drama. Good to see Louise Jameson as well.
