As a classic science fiction series, "H.G. Wells' Invisible Man" is based on the novel "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells. This 1958-1960 British television show was directed by Quentin Lawrence and starred Lisa Daniely, Deborah Watling, Tim Turner, and Johnny Scripps in the lead roles. The series followed the fantastical adventures of Dr. Peter Brady, a scientist who develops a serum that makes him invisible.

Dr. Peter Brady, played by Tim Turner, is a scientist working on a secret government project that aims to create an invisibility formula. His work pays off, and he becomes the world's first invisible man. However, being invisible is not as glamorous as he had hoped, and he struggles to deal with the physical, mental and social consequences of his power. Peter uses his science and ingenuity to help those in need, but his invisibility often draws attention to him; some people want to exploit him for their own purposes, while others seek to harm him.

Throughout the series, Peter always finds himself in thrilling, dangerous and irresistible situations. He uses his abilities for both good and bad, constantly testing the limits of the serum he has taken. Overall, the show is about his struggle to adapt to his new condition and find a balance between his personal life, scientific ambitions, and moral principles.

To help Peter in his invisibility, he often relies on his trusty sidekick, Sally Wilson, played by Lisa Daniely. Sally works for the government and is the only person outside of the laboratory that knows about Peter's condition. She serves as his confidante, but also as a sounding board for his scientific ideas. Sally is a strong-willed woman who is fiercely loyal to Peter, which makes her a perfect partner for him.

Deborah Watling plays the role of Jane, Peter's sister. She is a medical student who often gets involved in Peter's experiments, which leads to her being put in harm's way. Jane is smart, resourceful, and intuitive, making her an asset to Peter's work.

Johnny Scripps plays Mark, the bumbling housekeeper who provides comic relief throughout the series. Although Mark is often the butt of Peter's jokes, he is also Peter's only constant source of companionship outside of Sally and Jane.

Throughout the series, Peter and his friends solve mysteries, fight crime, and struggle to adjust to Peter's invisibility. One episode sees Peter helping a gangster escape the law, only to find himself at odds with him later. Another episode has Peter investigating a murder, which leads him to discover a dangerous drug ring. In another, Peter tries to rescue a kidnapped girl, but ends up being transported to a different dimension.

Each episode is filled with adventure, excitement, and suspense. The science fiction elements of the show may seem crude by today's standards, but were revolutionary for its time. The special effects, while limited, are effective in conveying the feeling of Peter's invisibility.

Though the series ended in 1960 and only ran for two seasons, it has maintained a cult following over the years. The show's legacy is that it helped establish the invisibility trope in science fiction media for decades to come.

Overall, "H.G. Wells' Invisible Man" was a groundbreaking science fiction series that paved the way for future works in the genre. It's a thrilling adventure that stands the test of time, thanks to its creative storytelling, outstanding cast, and pioneering special effects.
