I'm a fan of this show but have to say this is one of the worst ones I've seen. Various distracting live tv problems, lingering out of focus shots, a crew man standing in what's supposed to be an emtpy house and a bad camera shadow at an important moment.
I guess this was just a day when nobody did their best work. Judith Evelyn tries too hard to look scared, other performers are just bad, only Henry Jones comes off well--as he usually does.
The story is pretty dull though there is one twist that might have worked if anything else in the episode had. The organ music is distracting and poor and regular director Robert Stevens shoots this all in tight kind of awkward shots that make it feel really phoney.
I'd hate for someone to see this and think it's typical for the series--it basically has the elements you'd find in most episodes only this time few of them work.
