Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When this series made its debut in the late 50's it was an instant hit with TV audiences in both the UK and in America. As part of a publicity campaign, the name of the actor who played Dr. Peter Brady was Tim Turner (replete with bandages), but was not revealed until 1965 to keep the audiences guessing. The show boasts of some really fabulous special effects for the day; for example, a cigarette that lights and smokes itself and wine drunk from a glass by an "invisible" drinker. Many of the episodes refect the political climate of the Cold War; Peter Brady often is called to thwart the evil designs of foreign spies or assist a friend of a friend who is being blackmailed keeping with a theme similar to "The Saint." A complete set of all the episodes are available thru AmazonUK, but this is a good starter set for those who like vintage British sci-fi television with a twist. The astute observer will notice many fine UK actors in guest spots on this series who would later appear on many other well known ITC programs such as "Danger Man," "Secret Agent," and "The Prisoner."

H.G. Wells’ classic tale of suspense and intrigue from the 1950s. A highly secret laboratory experiment that goes awry turns Dr. Peter Brady into the Invisible Man! Unable to return to a visible state, Brady is enlisted as the ultimate British secret agent.For years, the identity of the Invisible Man was a well-kept secret. More than one actor portrayed the physical character, while another supplied the voice. The special effects (advanced for their time) ran the gamut from making objects float gracefully through the air to creating a riderless motorcycle.The Invisible Man, Season 1 includes 13 remastered episodes.
