When one of Steed's colleagues is found dead,
he pays particular attention to the wine shop near where it happened. In addition to some
excellent vintages, Steed finds a darkroom hidden in a wine casket. Meantime, Cathy has
her eye on an electronics firm working on a top secret project for the government that is
of interest to you-know-who.
IMHO |
There are elements of this episode that are quite
appealing—any time Steed is involved with wine merchants and the like, there is always
some clever banter. But other aspects of the storyline, such as the illicit love affair,
tend to slow the pace and push the episode out of spy fantasyland and into more generic
TV.
Trivia |
Some scenes were pre-recorded on 18 October 1963 in advance of the main recording.
