Episode 68: Cathy Gale Era |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Production completed: 8 November 1963 Artificial products (knock-offs of the real thing) are hitting the European market at faster rates, appearing only months after the bona-fide products are released. Steed and Cathy investigate one particularly hard-hit drug manufacturer and uncover a plot to kill thousands of people in an obscure oil-laden country with poisoned stomach powders in order to stir anti-British sentiments.
Coming off more as a public service announcement than a spy thriller, this episode has one bright spot: Steed posing as a art dealer from Iceland—with a rather dubious accent!—in order to infiltrate the home of a man suspected of arranging the printing of artificial product packaging.
Some scenes were pre-recorded on 7 November 1963 in advance of the main recording.
