Suspenseful but very much of its time

8/10

"Other reviewers have mentioned the actual plot points of this episode. The part that really had me yelling at the TV was the completely outdated approach to how everyone treated the child, Colin. He's well under 16, so under the age of consent for any medical procedure (which is the closest analogy to the experiments) and yet not even his supposed defender, Tom, ever says "He's a child. You can't do this." None of the other adult have ANY care for Colin, not even really Anne. I'm old enough to remember this show when it was broadcast, though I didn't really..."
