Overall
(0-10)
A wildly improbable scheme, but it just might be possible. Jungle fights and silk sarongs enhance a rip-snorting episode (a lot of the snorting coming from Bill Fraser). Another episode that reminds me of The Goodies, so bonus points there.

continuity and trivia


©1961-9
When Lieutenant Razafi ransacks Steed's Bentley, he opens a War Department archive box containing the file on Colonel Rawlings, which strangely also contains one of the left-over files from the Colonel Psev incident - Two's A Crowd - spelled the same way and with the same serial number, 56079.

21:50 - As Steed and Simon Trent first enter the indoor Kalayan jungle, the folliage in the upper right foreground moves quite noticeably as the boom bumps into it while moving backwards.

40:15 - it seems a bit bright for midnight when Emma crosses the garden.

That's not Patrick Macnee swinging out of that tree, it's his stunt double Rocky Taylor (best seen in The Cybernauts and Escape in Time).
