+ | A series of attacks are planned by animal rights activists, and the first victim is the young daughter of a vivisectionist. Gene orders his team not to sleep until those responsible are found, but the only lead points towards an imprisoned hunger-striker with no contact to the outside world. As Alex and Gene disagree on who could be responsible, the campaign starts to claim more casualties - and it's a race against time to stop it. |

*Alex watches Tony Hart on the BBC TV art series for kids, ''Take Hart'' (1977–1983), and gets involved in the Morph sequence, though the show was not running in May 1982. Tony Hart was an artist/cartoonist who presented art shows for kids on BBC TV. His TV career began in 1951, contributing art and illustrations for ''Saturday Special'', a BBC kids' show presented by Peter Butterworth and Janet Brown. This led to other early shows such as ''Playbox ''(1954) a BBC kids' panel game, ''Ask your Dad'', ''Disney's Wonderland'', ''Stories in Pictures'', ''Blue Peter'', and ''Tich and Quakers'' with ventriloquist Ray Alan. He first became well known in his own right for co-presenting ''Vision On ''(1964-1976), a series aimed at deaf children, with Pat Keysall. In 1977 he began the first series of his own, ''Take Hart'', for which he invented the character of Morph, a piece of plasticine that morphed into a man-shaped figure. The stop-frame animation was carried out by the now-famous Aardman animation studios. Morph was so popular amongst the kids that he was given a series of his own in 1980, ''The Amazing Adventures of Morph'' and later ''The Morph Files'' (1995). Hart continued to appear with Morph in such series as ''Hartbeat'' (1984-93) and ''Smart Hart'' (series 1 and 2: 1999/2000'')''. ''Vision On'' is mentioned in [[Series 1: Episode 3 (Life on Mars)]] of ''[[Life on Mars]]'' . |
