The Vise begins on Talking Pictures TV
A couple of plot holes aside, I very much enjoyed the first episode (from the mid-fifties) of anthology series The Vise, "One Just Man". Alexander Knox I recognised from Bond film You Only Live Twice and the surviving episodes of a series Talking Pictures have shown, The Hidden Truth.
The first episode reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock Presents with the developments and twists in the plot.
When the channel went to the ad break, it seemed to abruptly cut to it.
Ron Randell was a very suitable host (bookending the episode).
