Overall (0-10)	A gritty drama as a turn about from the previous week's fancy dress, and it plays out well. fine performances by all involved, but it's a bit staid.

Steed disguises himself as three different officers - one for each force - to infiltrate the abodes of the suspects in the case, sporting different false facial hair and medals for each one. He patriotically gives them the names red, white and blue. My favourite is his R.A.F. officer, all enormous curled moustache and" "what ho! jolly good show!" accents.	Commander Red	Major White
He later enrolls at the Butling academy run by Hemmings and Benson and is sent to Group Captain Miles, dressed in butler's garb	Squadron Leader Blue	Butler Steed

John Le Mesurier (Benson) is beloved by fans of Dad's Army worldwide - he normally plays quite pleasant chaps, unlike his rôle here. Howard Marion Crawford (Brigadier Percy Goddard) - who normally plays unpleasant chaps - turns up again as The Sixteenth Duke of Benedict in The Living Dead.

Pamela Davies plays the WRN, as evidenced by this newspaper clipping.
