Season 5, Episode 4
8/10
Amusing with congenial guest stars

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing this again after many years. It's delightfully silly though Phillip Levene's plot has a certain quirky logic, despite one or two anomalies. Production standards appear on the low side with the exception of Brodny's sumptuous headquarters. Responses to comedy are usually subjective and not everyone appreciates Warren Mitchell's cowardly braggart of an ambassador, (nor his turns as cab driver Marco in The Saint - he rarely did subtlety) but I enjoy them, ditto Roy Kinnear's bumbling mad scientist. Always liked Moira Lister too, most agreeable as the attractive villainess Elena and it looks as if she's really being thrown around in the well-staged fight with Diana Rigg.
