Artificial products
(knock-offs of the real thing) are hitting the European market at faster rates, appearing
only months after the bona-fide products are released. Steed and Cathy investigate one
particularly hard-hit drug manufacturer and uncover a plot to kill thousands of people in
an obscure oil-laden country with poisoned stomach powders in order to stir anti-British
sentiments.
IMHO |
Coming off more as a public service announcement than a spy
thriller, this episode has one bright spot: Steed posing as a art dealer
from Iceland—with a rather dubious accent!—in order to infiltrate the home of a man suspected of arranging the
printing of artificial product packaging.
Trivia |
Some scenes were pre-recorded on 7 November 1963 in advance of the main recording.
