What happens
Major Kenman answers a newspaper ad seeking fighter pilots for a scientific experiment and finds himself in a windowless laboratory run by Dr. Jessica Frost and Professor Baird. The scientists propose training him to extend his five senses to their limits, asking him to live in darkness and silence for three years in exchange for a large salary. Kenman, who has grown wary of the project's aims, must decide whether to accept their offer. The episode is from the Escape series, originally broadcast on August 23, 1953.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
