The Amazing Falsworth against the Keyboard Killer
26 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
A serial killer is on the loose. He is called 'Keyboard Killer' because he uses piano strings to strangle his victims. Immediately after he has murdered two further victims, he enters a night club to elude the police. The 'Amazing Falsworth' is just starting his show. He is a clairvoyant who can sense the thoughts of people by touching them with his hands. He leaves the stage - blindfolded - and touches some people and tells them who they are and what they do. He is always right. Then he touches the killer. He is shocked and moves away from the killer. When he puts down the blindfold, the killer has gone - but he will try to eliminate the witness. Will the Amazing Falsworth be able to escape?

I liked this episode. There are some surprises, I liked the acting and the music, and there's a lot of black humour, for example how the killer's plans are based on a Verdi aria and that he sings along to this aria when he's after the Amazing Falsworth. Though I didn't like it as much as, for example, 'Mummy Daddy' (also from this series), I think it's a good little horror story.
