A series of unrelated
deaths appear coincidental, until Steed notices that they were all members of the military
who trained together—and court-martialed a man presumed to be dead. Each of the men dies
playing a game suited to his vocation. And next on the list—Steed!
IMHO |
Overall quite enjoyable, although once the device is established,
it becomes somewhat predictable. Greatly benefits from Peter Jeffrey's diabolical qualities.
On Location |
Bristow's house is actually Grim's Dyke Hotel, Harrow Weald.
The hotel was built by W.S. Gilbert of Gilbert
and Sullivan. He drowned in the pond. A fitting Avengers location! (Thanks to Caroline,
who lives about half a mile from this site.)
Trivia |
If you are so inclined, you can download a screensaver by Carlos Pagés featuring uber-villian Bristow.
Steed's Aunties: Aunt Emily bequeathed a battered, brassy alarm clock used to indicate that "dawn approacheth."
*This unofficial subtitle is by Yours Truly.
Best Line |
Tara: "They're all dead."
Wishforth-Browne: "Oh, dear. One lump or two?"
Tag |
Steed and Tara play "Steed-opoly," wherein she makes all the wrong moves. (Hmmm...)
