Episode 141: Tara King Era |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Production completed: 25 June 1968 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!
Overall quite enjoyable, although once the device is established, it becomes somewhat predictable. Greatly benefits from Peter Jeffrey's diabolical qualities.
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.)
Steed's Aunties: Aunt Emily bequeathed a battered, brassy alarm clock used to indicate that "dawn approacheth." *This unofficial subtitle is by Yours Truly.
Tara: "They're all dead." Wishforth-Browne: "Oh, dear. One lump or two?"
