It's a good start.

Doctor Corder is tasked with choosing one of two candidates to take over, and run a large, but failing British business, Corder is given a week to assess whether Phillips or Hunter is the most suitable candidate.

What an interesting first episode, you don't often associate the use of psychology with a 1960's Britain, I understand that techniques would have been used over in The US, but in Britain, I'd never have thought it, interesting.

I always assumed the 60's was a time where Britain was still obsessed with social order, and tether than talk about all matters affecting mental health, people would have just gotten on with things, so it really is an interesting subject.

Herbert Lom is great as Corder, I look forward to learning more about him, Lloyd Lamble and Ronald Leigh Hunt were very good as the subjects.

Plenty of familiar faces to look out for, including Geoffrey Palmer, Delphi and John Horsley.

A very interesting snapshot of the time.

7/10.
