Thanks for this show!

As E.G says in his postscript remarks; he considers this adaptation closer to the Stevenson original than any of the film versions of the story.

Kevin McCarthy is at his best here, better than he is in the Sherlock Holmes episodes, in my opinion. His characterization is creepy and convincing. I think it's a great 45 minute abridgement of the original.

There seem to be a few seconds missing in the middle of the show . . . perhaps a gap caused by flipping over a 60 minute cassette during the initial recording? Just a couple of lines when Jeckyll warns Utterson (?) to leave the room rather than witness the transformation.

Out of all the adaptations of classic material that RMT did over the years, this one remains my favorite. You can almost smell London in the 1890's!
