The Police are hunting down an arsonist, who's targeting derelict buildings, it becomes serious when a family die in one of the fires.
The third straight strong episode, I've been surprised by the quality of the series so far, but not just that, the variety, each story has been so very different.
There's something very nasty about arson, and Bishop's story is perfectly feasible, I love the way you get to see his mania and paranoia spiral out of control. George Cole is terrific here.
Some pretty good stock footage used here, it doesn't look too shabby, however...
Some of the effects look pretty bad, almost as though the backgrounds are out of proportion to the characters in focus. Scenes of Bishop on his bike look very dodgy, but it was 1964 I guess.
8/10.
