Less than a full pocket

This is one for pop fans. Eartha Kitt's singing is the best thing about this episode. The house party with the table - top dancing granny is also quite fun.

The next best thing is the guest appearance by Kate O'Mara. The plot itself is feeble and developed unusually slowly, so that the ending appears suddenly tacked-on with no real preparation.

A Pocketful of Posies

It's got Eartha Kitt singing and Ethel from Eastenders dancing on top of a table.

Yet this is a run of the mill episode. Most people would have worked out who could be behind it all.

Kitt plays singer Carrie Blaine and she is troubled just as she is about to open a tour. With the publicity in full gear Carrie seems to be having panic attacks. She thinks her house is haunted, children singing a nursery rhyme, clocks moving backwards.

Her husband and her management are worried. Harry Rule is brought in but is Carrie simply deranged?

With the lovely Kate O'Mara in the cast, it does not take much to figure what is going on. The denouement was effective. The Protectors lived up to their name.
