Or perhaps a little over-done? Steed is being framed for murder in an attempt by a swindler to avert Steed's attention after the death of a colleague. But then a fake medium suddenly begins predicting the framers' every move! How does she do it?
Although it is a generally inoffensive installment, the faint glimmer of hope sparked in the first season is quickly fading owing to lackluster performances and a paper-thin plot.
Courtesy of Max Pemberton: The colleague killed is George Cowley. Wasn't that Bodie and Doyle's boss in The Professionals? Director Ray Austin, by the way, was the stunt arranger for the Emma Peel era, and made a credited appearance in "The Gravediggers.
