9/10! There's not much that would improve this episode, it's just about perfect. Oodles of wit and style combined with great direction and props make this a real viewing pleasure. Make sure you see it! 9 stars

Mrs Peel is busy painting when she's distracted by discovering Steed has just signed her masterpiece.
Ruthless businessmen are being killed by a comic-strip character come to life.
Good on him, I say.
The illustrator, Arnie, has turned fiction into fact using special climbing boots invented by Professor Poole - with them, you can walk up the side of a house. A battle ensues on the ceiling before Steed uses Batman tactics to bring the Winged Avenger down to earth. POW! WHACK! BLAM!
Back at Mrs Peel's apartment Steed draws dinner, then serves it with a ping! of tureen lids.
