    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Banstead gives Steed a drink, he remarks that it's non-alcoholic so it is safe to drive. This is probably a reference to the fact that, in the UK, the Road Safety Act 1967, passed in the same year that this episode was first broadcast, first introduced a legally enforceable blood alcohol level.
    • Goofs
      The red car driven by the villains hits the fence/gate post and careers off into a tree. Just before it hits the tree the front of the car shows no damage as would be expected if it had just hit a fence.
    • Quotes

      Emma Peel: I've just come from an Embassy Junket.

      John Steed: The rattle of ambassadorial decorations, the drone of speeches...

      Emma Peel: Hmm. All proceeding at the pace of an infirm, gravely debilitated, very old snail.

    One of the best Avengers episodes!

    Love this episode, in my opinion one of the best, along with 'Murdersville'. It has everything you want from an Avengers episode, the little English villages, the action, the humour.. love it!
