Young Davey Morris disappears, leaving his parents
John and Ann frantic with worry. A search party proves successful, Davey is found on the side of a mountain, when quizzed, Davey explains that he was put there for his own safety, by a creature.
There was something really charming and enjoyable about this episode, who doesn't love the fascinating story of Bigfoot, The Abominable Snowmen, a fable I grew up on.
I loved the air of mystery and ambiguity, was there a monster, or was something else occuring, we shall never know.
I think a lot of the success of this episode is down to the talents of the young Dennis Holmes, who of course played Davey, now this is a time when child actors weren't always great, this kid did a fine job.
8/10.

Michael Barry, a washed up lothario details events from his past, events which include a romance with a wealthy countess, and a deadly necklace that claimed several lives.
I really struggled to get through this episode, it's the very first episode of One Step beyond that I'd have to class as an absolute clunker, it just didn't work on any level.
The story was a little silly, the acting just wasn't very good, and that overly sentimental music felt well and truly out of place. It was very hard to take it seriously, at times it felt almost comedic.
The only positive I can really take from this one, is seeing our wonderful host John Newland playing a more active role, he's very much part of events here,

Reginald Perrin is decidedly fed up, his life is feeling somewhat repetitive, he says goodbye to his wife, gets the train, heads to work, home, then repeat. His boss at Sunshine Desserts is keen to promote a new line in exotic flavoured ices.
What a great first episode, it sets the scene, introduces the characters, and we get a glimpse into the mind of Reggie Perrin, a man who's health is on a downward spiral.
So many funny sequences, Reggie dreading visiting the mother in law and fantasising about his classy secretary Joan, and that wonderful introduction to CJ, where we learn exactly what kind of Executive he is.
I just love the direction it's going on, you truly see a man pushed to the limits by the repetition of daily routine, desperately trying to break away.
Leonard Rossiter is superb, what a talent, and being the Rising Damp addict that I am, I was able to see him as a whole new character here.
