John Doe [Season 1, Episode 10] Manifest Destiny
Shown 6 Dec 02

A man dies on a plane to Heathrow. John Doe has to solve the murder, helped by a Scotland Yard detective [the old English Gent cliche]. Gabrielle Anwar is a doctor. There's a mysterious killer with hi-tech gadgets, and he may be on a suicide mission.

There's a confusing reference to strawberry rhubarb pie, and a nice scene where Doe [who is colour blind] has to link coloured wires!

John Doe [Season 1, Episode 20] Shock to the System
Shown 4 Apr 03

JD is struck by lightning, and loses his memory archive. However, he now sees in colour. Not much compensation when he's still expected to solve crimes.

JD receives letters from a serial killer, a JTR copycat. Even the damn barman is better deducer than John Doe!
