@starsiegeplayer - One imagines he would've fashioned a sharp object from the equipment he had on him & slashed his wrists... I know I would if I found myself in such a situation with no hope of rescue...
@aajoeyjo Actually he wouldn't have stayed alive. He would have died a slow death from dehydration and starvation, and since the box was sealed, he'd die wallowing in urine and feces, all the while knowing there was nothing he could do....
"The commissioner is.. diseased. It is a tragedy that he should succeed through the use of force." Only he doesn't get to. Undone by his own paranoia. If ever a character got the fate he deserved, it was Simmonds. An OK episode, not one of the best, but Christopher Lee loans it dignity, Roy Dotrice makes a good villain, and the ending was most satisfying.
Do you have a new chronology for the revised series? Logically, this should have been the second episode, but actually it was the fifth episode of the first series.

I didn't watch this for years, as I thought the commisioner didn't deserve to die...

I remember it not being the most exciting episode but the ending would have made Stephen King proud.
