It's very hard to make out everything with the audio being so bad, but this is one of my favorite episodes. The story is beautiful. Sad in some ways, but real. It's the story of hope, of the endless chase life often seems to be. The seemingly endless search for real happiness. I love the way the narrative is done, switching between the man and the woman (Ernest Chappell and his wife Claudia Morgan). A lot of it's nicely poetic, great writing as always. Cooper had a way of making death seem like it isn't such a bad thing. Here, and in "The Evening and the Morning", "The Room Where the Ghosts Live", "The Little Morning" and "Kill Me Again" among others. In fact, if you compare with "Is This Murder?", "Some People Don't Die" and "Clarissa", death sure looks a lot better than eternal life.
