Out of the Unknown: The Counterfeit Man
I have the faintest of memories of the 1960s science fiction series Out of the Unknown.
This episode, starring David Hemmings a year or so before Blow-Up, has recently turned up on Youtube in four parts. This is the first and Youtube will lead you to the rest.
As a 50years SF-fan I hadn't known about this series. Though I've been to the London SF-shops (like Forbidden Planet) regularly for the last 40 years (!) I've never seen it mentioned anywhere.
Let's hope more of it turns up - wonderful stories by some of my favorite authors!
The 50s and 60s really were "the golden age of SF" ...
Thanks a lot, Jonathan!
