Man in a Suitcase: Who's Mad Now? (1.27, ITC, 1968)

"I can get you stopped, you know that?"

"You can try."

"A foreigner, here under sufferance, so to speak... and, uh, you do have a past."

"And, uh, you do have a big mouth; and, uh, you do have some big friends - right?"

Parkes was fairly new to scriptwriting and #by his own admission (in later interviews) considered his work on MiaS to be run of the mill rush work. this may also have been an episode #intended to save a little budget for some of the more expensive set pieces in the final few episodes; there's little location filming here #and just a couple of sets. not a bad episode‚ but not particularly a standout: the plot concerns an old flame of McGill's who worries #she's losing her mind. cue much 60s gaslighting and a few trippy scenes of apparent hallucination. Philip Madoc pops up as a psychologist #and honestly I'd have enjoyed more of his character. Bob Hutton is the rotten husband who may or may not be causing all the problems (but #let's be real‚ was it ever in doubt?). the scenes between McGill and Hutton do sparkle tho‚ full of restrained jealousy and indignation #i particularly enjoyed the quoted bit above (it's in the way Bradford really hits the 'uh's in a venomous mockery of Hutton's tone; quite #possibly an adlib??). as in the pilot‚ McGill ends up hiring another private detective to do some sleuthing on his behalf #Harvey is quite fun as the competent but heavy drinking private eye

Bad Boy Bubby

Bad Boy Bubby: Bad Boy Bubby is just that: a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that his mother has kept him locked in their house for his entire thirty years…
