TEXT: THE FACELESS ONES by DAVID ELLIS and MALCOLM HULKE first broadcast - 13th May 1967 running time - 23mins 08secs [SCENE_BREAK] 1.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL ROOM (The CHAMELEON-MEADOWS sits in a chair with the burly form of Superintendent REYNOLDS looming over him.) CHAMELEON-MEADOWS: I've told you,
