I've enjoyed getting back to this series, my favorite episodes being Coffin for the Bride and Lady Killer. I remember those from years ago
The Eyes Have It is one I just saw, and I'm glad to see it now because it has actors in it that I wouldn't have known when the show was first on. The first was a very young Sinead Cusack - I refused to believe it was her, but it was; the second actor was Dennis Waterman; and the third Alum Armstrong- the latter two both from one of my favorite shows, New Tricks.
The story concerns a school for the blind which is in the path of a huge parade carrying five statesmen and "a man who might change the world." We don't know who that is. Assassins set themselves up in a room overlooking the parade in order to set off rockets that will blow up the cars. The students don't realize that their teacher has been killed, and Sally (Cusack) one of the students is told b one of the killers that he's a plumber.
Sally keeps insisting to her card-playing friends that something is wrong. Then she finds her teacher's body. Listening to the radio, the students realize what's probably going on and decide that they must use their abilities to keep the assassination from happening.
My only criticism is that there is no indication, except on TV and the radio, that a parade is going on anywhere near that building. There is no outside noise.
Loved seeing these young people in a terrific story.
