"I'm not right behind
you!" Every time a blackmailer is cornered by a witness, the witness reverses his
story. When at last a reliable witness is found, the lawyer reverses his
position!

On the whole quite good, in spite of Tara's fashion follies. Worth it for the climactic fight alone.
Trivia |
Does Plummer's flat look familiar? You will see it again as Caspar's flat in "Super Secret Cypher Snatch."
Oh, and while Rhonda never utters a line of dialog in her tenure on The Avengers, she does give a whistle in this one when she summons an agent to take some milk for analysis. Or is it Tara's whistle? Funny, but Tara makes precisely the same whistle just a minute later when she is summoning her non-existent colleagues at the dairy. Talk about trivia!
This time Mother's office is in the top of a double-decker (shot on a real bus driving through the rain). Note that this little device was lifted for the dreadful movie.
Screenwriter Jeremy Burnham was a guest actor who appeared in three episodes: "The Town of No Return," "The Fear Merchants" and "The Forget-Me-Knot."
