▶ "One Step Beyond": The Lonely Room.

SEASON (2) EPISODE (36). May 31 1960.

[@robin2012ism]

interesting one

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

I've thought some more about this episode. It may be more subtle than the light-hearted change of pace that I first considered it to be. It COULD conceivably be a riff on the psychology of the sub-conscious -- along "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde" lines. We all have a "shadow" side to our personalities . . . that contains abilities and capacities that we don't normally have conscious access to. So this COULD be an exploration of that. Or I COULD be . . . just over-thinking it . . .

He's so sweet. Good thing his doppelganger had some swagger.

[@Trev359]

These last half a dozen episodes have really gone up a notch.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

@Delboy359: And then Season 3 contains the best episodes, including 7 of the top 10: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6ilhKaCmNh2gNU

Thanks, looking forward to them. Shame there wasn't a season 4.

Agree! 👍

This guys was very blessed with confidence. His doubleganger.

Shhhh…don’t give it away! And it’s not doubleganger. Look up the proper spelling!

Doppelgänger

[@parichehrnasiri1375]

How I wish I had a double to do some of my works as I'm always behind schedule. Nice episode though. Thanks for uploading.

Other great episodes: THE TIGER, THE DREAM, THE OPEN WINDOW, and THE PREMONITION. All are on OSB.

I'm curious I was a teen in the 50s and boys and men tucked their shirts in!!!

[@user-wy4wp1np9z]

100th comment 🥳 Not a doppelgänger but an energy of mind manifestation created by intense emotions. Known in the East as a tulpa.

[@dmx5439]

That was sweet 😊

[@rubensingleterry7756]

the music has hypnotic effect.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

I think this has to be one of the best early uses of music in the history of television. It's pretty sophisticated for its time . . .

[@jannisares]

My friend saw my doppleganger in a different state. She even had my weird accent.

[@carmenortiz5294]

Many years ago, a friend of mine, told me that I looked just like his sister. He invited me to go see her. Although she was a year younger, I was stunned. It was like seeing myself in a mirror. I understood why he told me "too bad you look just like my sister". Zero chance of a romance. LOL

[@ecuadorexpat8558]

Incidents like this seem to show that humans are made in a mold and that s why you have Doppelgangers ..you re from THE SAME MOLD !!!

[@marcellino1956]

that guy looks like radar.......acts like him to

[@maratyirka3359]

Radar? - O'Reilly from M.A.S.H?

There is one difference however, this man has a deep voice not a squeaky one like Gary burghoff

Youth is wasted on the young nice episode

[@gmehaywood4010]

The young man looks like a young Johnny Depp aha

[@hawkmaster381]

He created a "tulpa". The term "doppelganger" was often used before people knew of this concept in ancient Tibetan mysticism.

[@glennhoddle10]

Thank GOD his alter ego ( doppelganger is wrongly used here ) has game with the ladies and wasn't a wimp.

[@donaldleroy6502]

I can see it now, she will reject him and perhaps cause him to harm himself or her. I guess I typed too soon, doppelgangers have all the fun, I want to be a doppelganger too. Excellent ending also

According to the IMDb listing for this episode, he's an Italian-born actor named Fabrizio Mioni...who was at one time married to Maila Nurmi, the infamous Vampira.

I thought it was him too!

[@alfredagain]

Everyone seeing the same illusion? Everyone except the waiter. He shows no recognition or makes any comment when he meets the doppelganger of the man he's just had a very heavy conversation with. Was he being extremely discreet in the lady's prescence? Apparently not, since the original man then calls him over from a seat in the restaurant, yet still no "Sacre bleu, M'sieur, did I not just usher you into this booth a couple of seconds ago?"

[@Wowwwzaaa]

I don’t get it! Who went upstairs then? And why didn’t he flinch when the real one fainted? I’m trying not to spoil it for others by writing more details

[@minivegana6516]

I know! I don't get too.🤔

I am guessing he's having a OBE, they don't always happen during sleep or near death.

No, they happen at Buckingham Palace in January.
