At times this episode suffers from its own form of dry rot. Consider one of several similar scenes: Tara is driving along and encounters a truck in the road. When a man emerges from it wielding an axe, rather than just drive away, she gets out of her car and fights him! Is it me, or does this seem excruciatingly stupid? Frustrating, given that the episode also sports some great characters, particularly Mr. Pym.
Acronym Alert: BBC are British Burial Caskets, a division of WTI or Wainwright Timber Industries. *This unofficial subtitle is by Yours Truly.
The Hatfield Country Club, Essendon, was the setting for both the Wainwright Timber Industries and the church in St. Andrews.
Steed chats with Mr. Pym, a man with a personality (delightfully) consumed by dry rot. One of the best oddballs to appear in a long time.
"Look, I'm very tied up as I told you just now, I have nerbium teselartum in the hammer beam and I have hillertroops bijalum in the perlins, so after all that would you think it very rude if I might have a sit down?" (Mr. Pym, from the best scene)
