Man-Eater of Surrey Green Direction: Three out of five. Although I know that Sidney Hayers can direct fabulously (see "The Superlative Seven"), he seems to be a little off-form this week. Maybe it is because of the plot, which Philip Levene took too far. One can imagine our old friend Terry Nation doing something like this, but for the combination that brought us the best episode this season, you might have expected more. There is one superbly funny moment where he pans up her body, though! Plot: Two out of five. B-film alert! Although "Invasion of the Earthmen" might have well been described by this, at least Brett was a human mastermind! This is like Invasion of the Body Snatchers or even worse. Oh dear, it is a wonder he was asked back after producing such tosh. Music: Three out of five. Just when you think you are going to hear a good theme at the start, it gets interspersed with an irritating whirring in the background, which is perhaps not what was needed to increase the tension. All right, but just not as good as the rest of the season. Wittiness: Three out of five. One might have
expected more from someone as great as Philip Levene, but it is not
appalling, just too average! Emma on her chances of survival: "The plant's only man eating."
