It's hard to dislike this one—it's very nearly as good as "All Done with Mirrors." Smartly written as a send-up to The Prisoner, it shines mostly due to Linda Thorson's fine comic performance.

Trivia |
Tony McKay spotted the post-laser blast painting from "From Venus With Love" on the wall of an office at the start of this episode.
