I so wish I could find this episode to watch again. Probably the best tv show I've ever watched. Only a short programme but a super watch.

Such a twist at the end too. I tell lots of people about this episode, and so wish I could show them.

Like a previous review, I'd pay money to get hold of a copy of this one.

From start to finish, you are hooked. So realistic. Good acting, and a great story about a journalist who wants to know what it's like to be on death row.

One by one, things happen (some deliberately) which makes the journalist believe he is actually on death row. To the point that he is taken to the electric chair, to be executed. People congregate in the execution room to witness the ex execution. And at the last moment the hood it put over his head. Just as they are about to flick the switch, the lights are switched on, the hood removed.

Only ti find the journalist has died of a heart attack!!!

What a twist. I was about 16 at the time in the mid 1970s. And this episode has stuck in my mind ever since.

If anyone knows where I can get a copy, please please let me know,
