Ratings for each film are out of a maximum 10*
These 25 minute stories were filmed from 1953 up to 1956.
With directors of the calibre of Terence Fisher, Charles Saunders and John Gilling,
this is not a series that can be ignored.
With stars of the reputation of Buster Keaton, Diana Dors, Fay Compton, Mandy Miller, Bobby Howes, Googie Withers and Honor Blackman etc etc, this series deserves more careful scrutiny than it has hitherto received.

A contemporary review by Eric Johns of a story I have not seen:
147 One Can't Help Feeling Sorry
Fairbanks played an ex-public enemy deported from USA, now living in a picturesque Alpine village, something of a tourist attraction. He "brought the right degree of showy temperament to the part of the man who is reported to have fantastic notions and not to be in his right mind. When an American newspaper woman (Lois Maxwell) comes in search of a story, she has to decide whether the exile is really the former gangster or a stand-by who has been paid $20,000... The secret was well kept until the final fade-out."
