This is the fifth episode in the series, and although a little slow at first, it quickly speeds up and becomes interesting towards the end.
Edward Mulhare plays Prof. Mathers, a cloistered scientist who has invented a device to speed up the process of evolution. He has already tried it on an ape and the results have proved to be successful, since the ape shows advanced form of intelligence. Enter Cathy Evans (played by Jill Haworth), a simple girl who finds out about Mathers' invention ... Read More

David McCallum agrees to this because the goal of the scientist evolutionary test is to make his subject smarter and more advance then present day humans. The doctor succeeds at a cost because "his ... Read More

One of the best-remembered episodes, with some of the series' most shuddery moments. The story is reminiscent of The Man With the Power (see OL #4), but better realized, and with the lead character not anxious to lose his terrifying power over others, but rather to expand it.
David McCallum, who never turns in a poor performance, practically walks away with this one, though he is nicely matched by Edward Mulhare as the Professor Higgins (he played the role on Broadway, when Rex Harrison was on vacation) ... Read More
