The Nutshell: This one is simply unbelievable—it's a mini-James Bond film! Right up there with the best of the other seasons.

The Mauritius Penny: Neo-Nazis about to take over the country. Devious dentists making contacts through teeth. Bodies being carted all over the city in crates. This one has it all!

Mandrake: Take two aspirin and you'll be dead by morning. Classic Avengers quirkiness.

Dressed to Kill: Fancy having a New Years Eve costume party aboard a train? This one is reserved for you.

The Wringer: Effectively harrowing. Perhaps the one and only time that Steed almost cracks, and Cathy's feelings for him are surprising and touching.

Bullseye: To use an obvious pun, it hits the mark, courtesy of a few terrific plot twists and a fine performance from a fellow you may recognize from an Emma Peel episode.

The Gilded Cage: Goldfinger on a very small scale. (I wonder if Honor Blackman had any idea at the time...)

Mr Teddy Bear: The premiere Cathy Gale episode is most memorable for the titular character—perhaps the prototype diabolical mastermind.

The White Dwarf: A very plausible end-of-the-word scenario makes for a more serious, gripping episode than most.

Build a Better Mousetrap: Cute and clever—hallmarks of the best Avengers episodes.
