Jonah and the Whale
Jonah and the Whale
In Jonah and the Whale the joint expedition between two cold war institutes results in a man's death.

Nelson and Katya duplicate the bell's dive after it's repair, but this time, instead of being bumped by a whale, it's swallowed.

While the two are trapped, Crane mounts the incredible rescue attempt of entering the Whale's belly to rehook the bell.

Trivia: First color episode broadcast; new theme melody, not used again; in color, the internal whale view is visually rich and creepy, but in black and white, as most of us remember the first airing, it looks like plastic garbage bags lit by light bulbs...I coudln't believe the difference color made, all these decades later when I finallly had a chance to see it the way it was intended...color tv sets were still in their infancy, rather expensive and it was more than 4 years later until we were able to purchase one...'too late','too late, so sad, too bad'..but that's another story...
