Jason's Other Groovy TV Show - Department S

The Man From X

Director: Gil Taylor

Original broadcast date: 05-Nov-1969
Screenplay: Tony Williamson

London, England - February 2
When a man, clad in a spacesuit, is found wandering dazed and distressed through the streets of London, it is obvious that he is not an astronaut whose flight has been aborted. But he is dead before he can be questioned, and the mystery is deepened by a forensic report that he had recently been in a vacuum, in sub-zero temperatures, and has also collected a dose of radiation. The dead man is James Rankin-a criminal known to have been an expert safe-breaker. But what was he doing in a space suit? It's up to Department S to find out!
