Secret Experiment
Dr. John Brady is working at the Castle Hill government laboratory investigating the nature of refraction - his experiments achieve success when he is able to make a rat become invisible - but a leak in the containment chamber releases the radation into the lab, and Brady finds himself rendered completely invisible as well. At first put under lock and key by the government, he escapes and runs to his former colleague Dr. Crompton for help, but finds that the powers of invisibility have the potential to corrupt... The first episode begins very quickly, with Brady becoming invisible in the first moments. Fortunately they give time to introduce and develop Brady and his family before the action starts - already however, the 25 minute runtimes of these episodes starts to show itself, and the pacing does seem a little rushed.

They call on Brady to rescue the agent from a tightly guarded military hospital. The second episode of the series sets the tone for many of the following entries, with Brady being called on to help someone in trouble. In this case, unlike some of the later episodes, they give Brady a convincing reason to get involved, and makes full use of his invisibility. One of the best episodes.
