Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the story lines involves a character who his registered to play in Wimbledon, but he played one year as a pro so he should be ineligible (he lied so he could play). That was true in 1962 when this episode was filmed. However, starting in 1967, Wimbledon was opened to both amateur and professional players.
- GoofsThe cards supposedly containing gossip were actually actors cue cards. Just before Templar burned them, actors dialogue could be seen for the different parts played.
- Quotes
Simon Templar: Very tricky lad this Vosper. He's found out that most people like reading dirt, so three times weekly, his column dishes it up and by mixing a few grains of truth into a mess of innuendo and smut, Floyd Vosper pretends to report the load on celebrities. I don't know what you feel about it, but to me, it is like a dirty kid scrawling filthy words on a backyard fence.

Featured review
Prototype for Death in Paradise?
Fairly pedestrian addition to the excellent first series,with the storyline - one guest gets bumped off on an idyllic tropical island, a small group of potentially indictable suspects, a very English detective, assemble all the suspects together in a room before the big reveal- hang on, this is Death in Paradise isn't it?, Nevertheless great to see a very interesting gathering of Brit TV and film actors of the time, with Anthony Dawson (a much underrated actor) giving it large as the obnoxious celeb gossip columnist.
