WHO WAS THAT MAN I SAW YOU WITH?

Steed is framed by Tara
Tara breaks through his defenses*

Production completed: 10 January 1969
UK Premiere (London, Season 7): 19 March 1969
US Premiere (New York, Season 4): 3 March 1969

While carrying out orders to infiltrate a top-security defense site, Tara is identified as working with an enemy agent. It's an elaborate frame-up, of course, but by the time she can prove it, the damage is already done. If not for Steed and his lip-reader, it would be raining missiles any minute.

 IMHO

It's been quite a while since we've had a really interesting diabolical mastermind. This fellow is almost mesmerizing! And a sharp dresser, too. Tara is in rare form as well, breaking through Britain's master defense system (as devised by Steed) and staging an elaborate plot to frame Steed as proof it happened to her.

 Trivia

Screenwriter Jeremy Burnham was a guest actor who appeared in three episodes: "The Town of No Return," "The Fear Merchants" and "The Forget-Me-Knot."

Howard Blake composed the incidental music for this episode.

 Best Scene

After knocking him out, Steed desperately tries to find the name of the mastermind's tailor. "Oh!"
