Episode 99: Emma Peel Era |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Produced: mid-late December 1965 A series of "innocent" practical jokes is disrupting foreign relations. When the jokes turn deadly, our Dynamic Duo discover the dastardly doings of an exclusive period club that is planning a political coup.
Absolutely the most overtly erotic episode ever, with the most intense Emma-watching imaginable. And she wasn't the only character to steam up the picture tube—Monty Python alumna Carol Cleveland also helped. This aside, it is well and truly a great episode, with some remarkable moments, starting right off with the opening scene wherein Cartney pushes a giant chair backward towards the camera, accompanied by a wonderfully odd bit of music. And who could forget Steed removing the pea before the axe fell? Peter Wyngarde utterly steals the show (and does it again in "Epic"). "Hellfire!"
Carol Cleveland (Sara) was a regular on Monty Python's Flying Circus, making three links between the respective series—the other two being John Cleese ("Look - (stop me if you've heard this one)...") and producer Ian McNaughton ("The Master Minds").
Steed and Emma drive past the old farm on Deeves Hall Lane.
Steed's eyes pop at the sight of The Queen of Sin.
Emma: "I've come here to appeal to you, Mister Cartney." Cartney: "You certainly do that!"
