First appearance of Steed's tuba, with a baguette inside it.
The central plot of this episode was reworked and elaborated upon by Brian Clemens to become The Superlative Seven with Diana Rigg - the Cold War was not such a serious issue by '67, as that storyline is much more tongue in cheek.
That's quite a wide-ranging New Year's party - Banbury, Wolverhampton, Wellington, Shrovesbury, Wrexham and Chester, starting from Paddington.
They didn't bother popping down from the studio to film at Paddington - they superimpose Steed upon a still backdrop as he does his John Wayne impression.
Steed was 'invited' by Tony Linklater, Cavendish by Charlie Minters, the policeman by Sir Arthur Linden, Frederick Preston by Major Manville, Sheriff by the sweepstakes people, Dorothy Wilson by her editor; we don't know who was supposed to have invited the pussy cat - she doesn't care so long as she has a good time.
In the duel at the end, Preston must be a bad shot because he beats Steed to the draw.
