This is a surprisingly sub-standard episode.
Although an attempt is made to explore important issues of loyalty, conformity and betrayal, the mechanisms for so doing are built on implausibly after implausibility.
David Vincent takes important photos. Would he imperil those photos and/or push his luck in the way suggested? Would he press buttons willy-nilly not knowing what those buttons do?
Apart from the fact that it would have brought the series to a premature conclusion, there really is no convincing reason why the invaders would not have offed Vincent using their stroke-inducing device.
That being written, the great Ed Bagley provides his usual barnstorming performance, and there is a convincingly sinister performance from Nancy Wickwire.
