I was 9 years old when this first appeared on BBC and found it compelling and terrifying viewing. This is the first time in almost forty years since I watched it and it is still compelling and terrifying. It is a masterpiece in programme making and Pip Donaghy deserves great praise for the portrayal. Many thanks for uploading this video and giving me 3 hours of wonderful memories and a real sense of nostalgia. If only tv programmes were as great as this now!
... How Different The BBC Was Back Before Some EXEC's Started Going Down A Dark Corrupt Avenue..... DON'T PAY BBC LICENCE FEE.... IF YOU DO PAY..... WELL THAT SERVES ONE RIGHT..... Greetings From Mogadishu....
I saw this a couple years ago on TH-cam and I must say this has always captured my attention same for the universal classic of 1933 both very good in their own rights
@@deadpool1dude413 ya i remember they had invisible man, Frankenstein,Dracula,Wolfman, the Mummy etc but i think they were only on for a limited time before they got taken off youtube so i made sure i watched them all 👍✌i should've saved them on a list like i do but maybe they might have got deleted somehow by youtube 😉
This adaptation of the H.G.Wells science fiction novella is the closest of all that went before to the book. Originally broadcast by the BBC in six episodes.
Phenomenal! sheer realism with no add-ons! The genius of H/G Wells! And Hitler and his associates exactly tried to do what the Invisible Man, in his demented thinking, wanted to do. It is about the dangers of 'love of Power' for its own sake. A great book, made into a great film. Hopefully over and above the excitement of watching a great film, we are also left thinking about wanting 'power' for its own sake, and make up reasons for it afterwards...
Я в английской школе училась в СССР. Мы читали это в 7 классе. I studied at the school with some subjects taught in English. Back in the USSR. We read this book in grade 7. I remember that I missed all its humour and just felt very sorry for this poor vulnerable, shivering from the cold man.. 😢
I love this English version..methinks it is better than the 1933 Universal studio version. Pip Donaghy(Griffin) has a voice quite similar to Roddy McDowell! There ae several humorous scenes in this classic movie.
Most enjoyable to watch and closest to the original story. Although the Village could have been terrified longer, nothing like watching screaming villagers. Think about it, Invisibility. The line, You mean there's an invisible Cat running around somewhere?. Now I must return to my laboratory to continue my own experimental investigations, as soon as I'm invisible, I going straight to the bank, jewelry store, Gold exchange, then book a trip to the Caribbean. However the known side effects of invisibility, exposure and insanity.
One thing I always have loved about the invisible man in cinema is that it's an acting tour de force usually, in which the other actors have to carry the story because you are acting around a special effect or acting around a prop while a person talks to you from offscreen. One of the things I find myself always not really liking is I feel that the invisible man simply isn't violent and insane enough.
The invisibility is the dehanozation, wherein industry and it's fantasies make h no lo her visible as a human being. This literary conceit is similar to Shakespeare's Hamlet "not to be" or Kafka's Gregor, whose alienation symbolized by transformation into an insect by routinary business. Excessive random violence would convert the protagonist into aberration to justify the otherwise dehanizing bourgeois society, rather than to depict him as man struggling to exist in an other repressive environment.
Believe this was originally broadcasted on BBC1, Sunday afternoons/ evenings in 1984., same year Tom Baker portrayed Holmes in The Hounds of Baskervilles The BBC are second to none when comes to adaptations of classic literature.
Very nice old style movie, unfortunately it is the only movie you have , please add more of this type , the old ones .... It was interesting to watch ... .
These old BW films fascinate me. Not only are the story lines intriguing, but they're also historical. They give us a better glimpse than today's movies what the 1800s were like. The science principles like optical density were spot on. My wife got bored but what does she matter? The best parts were after she got up and left.
Oh that jolly old England vibe, I love it :D can't understand 100% of the talk, unfortunately, although I know the plot well from reading the book as a kid
Maybe folks are thinking the wa not tv until a year before the interweb ... so that would be 2010 or lower as we went from terrestrial to ha ha I forget what they call the digital signal switch [2007 I think] Anyways good series here and my 7yr old is enjoying it also. Going to see the 1933 iteration next Movie night w/Grandpa and granddaughter !!! [-§-] WeSaveUs Semper Prorsum ~Godspeed
A same movie was also in Hindi where Nana Patekar play the role . Can anyone suggest me name of that movie. Actually I was searching for the song that come in the end of that movie.Please can anyone tell me the name of that Indian invisible movie name .
Certain! Watching this now in my cozy flat on a chilled drizzling October evening snuggled in a comforter. Afterwards, it's Anne Rice's "The Witching Hour" on audiobook ... Ah! Bid time stand still ... !
You’re right, this is the 1984 adaptation of HG Wells’ original novel, and it is by far the most faithful adaptation so far. But the 1933 version is the most well made and the most entertaining
well what was your or the first hint? Maybe might it have been that this version presented in COLOR and that the first iteration was 1920's or 1930's he he he all B&W
Fantastic, it was a BBC1 production from 1984 (September 4th to October 9th), serialised in 6 episodes. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invisible_Man_(1984_TV_series)

33 version can not ever be topped
Interesting adaptation, quite faithful to the novel. I like the Victorian atmosphere.
This is a wonderfully acted series or movie. I truly love this, and I can't wait to see more of this. Thank you so much!
This adaptation of the H.G.Wells science fiction novella is the closest of all that went before to the book. Originally broadcast by the BBC in six episodes.
The best and most loyal adaption
This is one of the best programs I have watched and truly enjoyed for such a long time. Brilliant and scary.
When I first started to read the book I couldn’t put it down.. HG wells fantastic….

I’m doing a book report for this book and this video is really helping me understand the story more thank you
2 weeks late but me too lol hope u passed
same im doing a book report about this due sunday lol this is helping me more than the book@@solitusutopia
Watching this as a kid terrified me, especially when it was time for bed!
Same, that pink eye was horrible 😧
Nicely done. Poor Griffen over reached and paid the price.😢
Terrifying indeed, a descent into madness for poor Mr Griffin
What is the point in conducting a house-to-house search for someone you can't see ? He could be stood right next to you and you wouldn't know it !
Maybe they were all throwing flour around to find him
I love this English version..methinks it is better than the 1933 Universal studio version. Pip Donaghy(Griffin) has a voice quite similar to Roddy McDowell! There ae several humorous scenes in this classic movie.
Very good adaptation of Wells novel! The most accurate that I've seen! Thank you for posting this!!! Emily from Missouri ❤❤❤❤❤
the voice of the Invisible Man actor sounds like John Lennon's voice
I was in 12th standard, it was our novel in English subject and I just loved it

Check out the Clause Rains original B&W version, he omis certainly violent enough 😂😂😂

Still the best adaptation
I was 6 or 7 when I saw these tv series. I was scared to death. Still impressed with video effects
Red this novel in Class 12. This movie is amazing adaptation of the novel.
I read this novel in my school in 10th standard 😊😊😊
Is it good or boring?
Same bro, are you an Indian?
Believe this was originally broadcasted on BBC1, Sunday afternoons/ evenings in 1984., same year Tom Baker portrayed Holmes in The Hounds of Baskervilles
The BBC are second to none when comes to adaptations of classic literature.
I remember it as being shown on Tuesday evenings in 84.
i used to watch this then twin peaks on british tv ...2 great shows back to back...
Exelent British drama. Some others "gormandghast" and "edge of darkness"You may enjoy. Many thanks for your upload.
I remember, i saw this film, it was shown in Sovet Union s times😄 1987.By the way our soviet version also interesting, made with elements of comedy.
Almost a decade now.. class 10th CBSE :)
2:12:15
Top comedy!!!
The people's reactions and his chortling 😂
"The devil's in yer basket!"
Great to see this series on here. Many thanks!
Very nice old style movie, unfortunately it is the only movie you have , please add more of this type , the old ones .... It was interesting to watch ... .
Thank you for sharing the video🙌

Wonderful. Just like with rock music, no one does fantasy entertainment like the British.
The Americans do it better.
ウェルズの原作にほぼ忠実な作品ですね😃一番好きですね😃
In a few years kong kong will be public domain too.
Man it will be able to be watched for free.
Thats always cool
The effects may have been better in the 1930s, wow 1930s
I agree with you the 1933 was way better
The idea of an invisible man give me a lot of thoughts!
I liked the version where he gets caught in a winter snowstorm
Me too
So... the first movie?
Wow, great adaptation.
If it was now , he could have worn a realistic prosthetic face mask , Sunglass , a long wig , and a surgical mask to hide the mouth area 😢😢😢
Even simpler that that.. Any heavy foundation will work, and then, yes, dark glasses and a covid mask - very natural look. 😊
Oh that jolly old England vibe, I love it :D
can't understand 100% of the talk, unfortunately, although I know the plot well from reading the book as a kid
I would like you to please show in the film description the year of production, as well as the actors and the producer. VERY GOOD MOVIE!
It's obviously a British series from 1975-76.
Obviously for you, because I didn't know it.@@francisdec1615
Produced by Barry Lets who also worked on "DOCTOR WHO" .
Very good interesting Film.Gratitude for all the Actors.Then fine.From. A. Richard Paul Chaudary Wisdom Preacher Poet Anglo Indian.

Vincent Price had it knocked.
Childhood series 👌
Now that TH-cam are showing B &W Horror Movies like a this a one😅.. that's y im watching this longer version I saw years ago.
Is the 70s Invisible Man series starring David McCallum from The Man From Uncle series on youtube 🤔 ?
I haven't seen it
Boom boom
What do you mean by ‘Original’?
The best description of ‘original’ was the film
The Invisible Man, 1933, starring Claude Rains.
Maybe folks are thinking the wa not tv until a year before the interweb ... so that would be 2010 or lower as we went from terrestrial to ha ha I forget what they call the digital signal switch [2007 I think]
Anyways good series here and my 7yr old is enjoying it also. Going to see the 1933 iteration next

This might be “original 2023” but it is not The Original which was B&W, with Claude Rains…..Disappointing
This isn't the original not even close the original came out in 1933 on universal pictures...
You’re right, this is the 1984 adaptation of HG Wells’ original novel, and it is by far the most faithful adaptation so far. But the 1933 version is the most well made and the most entertaining
I've not seen it 😂😂
Original? No...Claude Rains was the original invisible man.
Yall like my dads acting?
Class 10 English novel 😊cbse
Tesla today🪙 car fantastic.🚗🇺🇲
Please is this the same story as invisible man by Ralph Elison
This is HG Wells adaptation.
No, this isn’t the original!
well what was your or the first hint? Maybe might it have been that this version presented in COLOR and that the first iteration was 1920's or 1930's he he he all B&W
@@cameltube-vk7el I know full and well all about the original, because I own it! Your heading says Invisible Man The Original which is wrong!
What according to you is the original? Any links or videos online?
@@chicagogyrl4846 am I, oh well I did not do a deep dive and watched it this year with my grands. Thought it was T.I.M.
oK what is this one you mean?
Please is this the novel by Ralph Ellison?
No. It is the H. G. Wells novel adaptation.
