Original air dates
editThe DVD case lists the original US air date for "Sight Unseen" as 15 December 1975, not 20 October 1975, making it the 10th episode broadcast, not the 6th, while the original US air date for the final episode "An Attempt to Save Face" is listed as unaired during original run of the series, not 26 January 1976. 203.96.57.56 (talk) 00:03, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Different from all others?
editI don’t understand the claim that Westin always remaining invisible “makes this production stand out against all other adapted series wherein the hero can become visible at will or after a pre-determined time”. The 1958 series “The Invisible Man” had a lead character who was so effectively invisible at all times that the actor doesn’t even get a credit for playing him in bandages or provoding his voice during on-screen effects. The BBC adaptation of the book is the same as the book - Griffin can’t and doesn’t become visible until he dies. So what is the basis for the claim? 109.158.237.231 (talk) 17:27, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
- Good point. Only one of the five TV adaptations, the 2000 series, allows temporary invisibility. I have removed the offending sentence from the article. HairyWombat 04:12, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Episode synopses
editNo synopses are shown for any of the episodes, but I can remember four of them.
Eyes Only - a woman is suspected of exposing government secrets, but she does not appear to be making copies. However, Daniel (invisible) observes her typing the document content, seemingly from memory, as she has a photographic memory.
Barnard Wants Out - Daniel helps an American un-defect back out of the Soviet bloc.
Stop When The Red Lights Flash - Daniel and Kate are caught in a small-town traffic trap - a school bus blinking its lights but no kids around.
Pin Money - a woman has been feeding her poker habit with money "borrowed" from the safe at work, but she's being cheated by the other players. Daniel intercepts under-the-table card exchanges so that they lose and the woman wins, so she can put all the "borrowed" money back before an audit discovers the theft.
