Overall (0-10)	I like this episode, but there are points where I would like more. Maybe more sustained humour, and a less stereotypical Thyssen would do it.					8 stars

Mrs Peel's Grand Hunt Ball invitation turns out to be a summons from Steed, and they set out to discover what's become of the world's most wanted criminals.
They're on the trail of Josino and follow him as he acquires a stuffed toy and a shaving cut. Steed takes the same path and ends up going through time to 1790! Emma follows, much to the gang's surprise and confusion, and finds herself in the Tudor era after the mastermind cottons onto her. A leap across time saves Emma from the stocks and exposes Thyssen's fraud.
Exit the Avengers in a veteran taxi - Emma in the driver's seat and Steed with a face full of soot.
