BIZARRE

Steed finds paradise
Tara is shot into orbit*

Production completed: 3 March 1969
UK Premiere (London, Season 7): 21 May 1969
US Premiere (New York, Season 4): 21 April 1969

Could Be Anything (click to see category list)A woman found wandering through a snowy field in her nightgown claims to have seen a dead man in his coffin—and the man wasn't dead. But Happy Meadows, where the man was buried, has a different problem: all of the coffins are empty!
 

 IMHO

What a sour note on which to exit, especially as the previous effort was quite promising. Here, the principal cast members seem to be doing little more than going through the motions—one can almost sense the doom in their eyes. Not to mention that the sets were dreadful. And given that this episode formally marked the end of the series, Mother's little epilogue is inappropriately optimistic.

 Trivia

*This unofficial subtitle is by Yours Truly.

 Best Line

"Wot? All of them?" (Happychap, after being told to exhume the whole of Happy Meadows)
 

 Tag

Steed shows off his latest toy to Tara: a space ship. Tara accidentally pushes the wrong button and launches them into orbit. Seems she finally figured out how to be alone with Steed! Mother advises us, "They'll be back..." Hmmm...
