I wouldn't say she had "criminal tendencies," except that technically smoking is illegal at the age of 16! She enjoyed smoking, foul language, and older men, but her psychic abilities were very real. Not your typical heroine but I found her quite likable anyway. Crime drama, use of ESP.

This one's a winner. Small, tight story, well acted and well paced. The sexual tension between the heroine and the, presumably much older, male lead (an uncredited Tony Roberts?), is in an interesting element. Given that she's supposed to be 16, I'm not sure you could get away with that today. Good crime drama with some supernatural elements, both of which are well done.

Iris, a 16-year-old girl who lives in an orphanage, has a unique ability to find lost things - toys, keepsakes, dead bodies. The aunt of a woman who disappeared seeks out her help. The woman's half brother/business partner isn't so eager to have her be found, and with good reason. There's no suspense as to what happened to her; we hear it right at the beginning. But the head games that go on between the girl and the nephew are pretty amusing.

Really fun episode. Having heard many of the episodes before and after, this is one of the sauciest. Interesting female character.

A down to earth mystery that has lots of buried treasures. Strong characterizations.

A naughty schoolgirl with apparent psychic ability to find lost things exposes even naughtier adults and their indiscretions. While predictable at times, the characters are engaging and interesting. Strong character development in this episode put it on the Must-Listen-To list.
