*In the 21 Jump Street episode, several series characters recount their experiences with childhood bullies. The part about Douglas Penhall, played by Peter DeLuise, is a nearly identical copy of Ray Bradbury's story "The Utterly Perfect Murder." The main character in that story was also named Douglas, but since 21 Jump Street was by then in Season 3, the identical first names are entirely coincidence. Ray was uncredited for his story, and I let him know about it by way of a letter which he never acknowledged. His collector and bibliographer Donn Albright told me that Ray said, "It happens all the time," and he refused to pursue it, although the first time it happened he took the case to the Supreme Court. Several of the entries in this list are also uncredited ripoffs.

The British anthology television series Journey to the Unknown focused on ordinary people finding themselves in unusual and often supernatural circumstances. Season 1, episode 2, “Somewhere in a Crowd” aired on November 14, 1968, and is top rated second among all episodes on Internet Movie Database.

William “Bill” Searle, played by David Hedison, is an American living in England and hosts a television interview program. He becomes increasingly alarmed after repeatedly spotting the same several people in crowds just before tragedy strikes. The disasters are always fatal. No one will believe him and he seeks psychiatric help. The doctor of course proposes a logical explanation, but Bill and the audience know better.

Bill loses viewer sympathy somewhat due to underhanded and devious behavior, but the episode still holds interest to the end. Jane Asher plays an important role as a young woman named Marielle.

The screen credit names only Michael J. Bird as writer, but Internet Movie Database names also John Gould and Ray Bradbury. The concept of the story and the general plot are directly taken from Ray Bradbury’s story “The Crowd,” which was based on his traumatic real life experience as a teenager. John Gould’s connection is unclear except that it seems he wrote for the series.

The episode is well produced and acted. It has eerie and genuinely scary moments, and a fantastic twist ending. This program reminded me of nothing so much as Night Gallery, my favorite current show when I was ten. Night Gallery premiered almost exactly a year after this episode, on November 8, 1969. You could do worse than to watch this.
