In 1972, Leonard Nimoy starred in a failed television pilot called Baffled!, in which he played a psychic race car driver and playboy, solving supernatural mysteries with his occultist Gal Friday played by Susan Hampshire. Intriguingly, this was shot in England, and so stars a number of recognizable British actors (for Doctor Who fans, Christopher "Jago" Benjamin and Milton "Castellan Kelner" Johns), as well as some nice locations. One imagines that had it gone to series, the show would have featured the two leads faced with different mystical shenanigans in week, and Nimoy somehow finding a way to get into a car chase each time (sadly, the process shots are most awkward). As to whether it would have stayed UK based or gone to cheap Californian locations, I can't say. Not a bad mystery at 90s minutes, with a definite Agatha Christie vibe, but the final twist is right out of Scooby-Doo. And I don't mean that in a good way. 3 years 7 months ago
