Episode 142: Tara King Era |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Production completed: 11 July 1968 "I'm not right behind you!" Every time a blackmailer is cornered by a witness, the witness reverses his story. When at last a reliable witness is found, the lawyer reverses his position!
On the whole quite good, in spite of Tara's fashion follies. Worth it for the climactic fight alone.
Does Plummer's flat look familiar? You will see it again as Caspar's flat in "Super Secret Cypher Snatch." Oh, and while Rhonda never utters a line of dialog in her tenure on The Avengers, she does give a whistle in this one when she summons an agent to take some milk for analysis. Or is it Tara's whistle? Funny, but Tara makes precisely the same whistle just a minute later when she is summoning her non-existent colleagues at the dairy. Talk about trivia! This time Mother's office is in the top of a double-decker (shot on a real bus driving through the rain). Note that this little device was lifted for the dreadful movie. 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." *This unofficial subtitle is by Yours Truly.
"Plucky, but from the wrong side of the hill." (Steed commenting on the wine he finds in Penman's refrigerator)
