Picnic with Death

After a serious car accident witnessed by many people, the government reveal Brady's invisibility to the press and he becomes a near-celebrity figure hounded by the media. Meanwhile the friend of his young neice begins to suspect that her stepfather is planning to murder her mother for the inheritence and pleads with Brady to help... After the interesting opening the episode falls into the trap of many of the Invisible Man stories, a typical detective story with Brady rather awkardly inserted, and getting to do very little that a completely visible person couldn't have done. Fortunately it does boast a rather thrilling climax sequence.
