The Invisible Man was a 1958 ITC Entertainment series for Associated TeleVision. The series was networked on CBS in the United States. It ran for 26 half-hour monochrome episodes across two seasons and was nominally based on the novel by H.G. Wells, one of four such television series.
The series follows the adventures of Doctor Peter Brady, a British scientist who, while attempting to achieve invisibility with light refraction (a completely different technique than the protagonist of the novel utilized), has an accident which turns him permanently invisible. He is initially declared a state secret and locked up, but eventually convinces the UK government, represented by Sir Charles Anderson, to allow him to return to his laboratory and search for an antidote (‘Secret Experiment’). Almost immediately, British intelligence recruits him for an assignment (‘Crisis in the Desert’), but soon security is breached (‘Behind the Mask’) and he becomes a celebrity (‘Picnic with Death’), consequently also using his invisibility to help people in trouble, as well as solve crimes and defeat spies for his country.
Is it just me or did I hear foot steps supposedly of the invisable man that sounded like shoes? Ha Ha!! Doesn’t take much to make me laugh…
very good series can you show a series called the cheaters/which starred .john ireland .thank yoo
Research indicates that “Cheaters” hasn’t been shown anywhere since the 1970’s. Since it was never syndicated to the USA, it remains under copyright to the beeb. Some syndicated “beeb” materials have fallen into the USA public domain, because they were distributed in the US without copyright notice or renewal and no “Notice of intent to enforce” was registered.
By all accounts, it was a great series, but if it exists, it is relegated to the vaults at BBC (as near as I can tell). No DVD’s or VHS were discovered with a web search.
The short answer is that even if I could get copies of “Cheaters” episodes, I couldn’t play them.
This site provides more information about the series.
I added two new episodes to the end of this playlist today.

I checked out for awhile.Life it’s tough. Back to doing what I want. Thanks for the info on the Batman.
I guess there was an even earlier 1943 Batman serial too. It looks like this page had at least some of it.
You get to do what you want? You must be doing good
i love these shows,are there more episodes? i wish the show called” Adventures in Paradise” could be shown on this site.As a kid my Mom and I use to watch that show. Does anyone remember the show called” T.H.E. C.A.T.”? would love to see it too.
I’m afraid you’d have to search ebay and DVD’s of questionable pedigree to find those.
