Whoever Shot Poor George Oblique Stroke XR40?

Teleplay by Tony Williamson, Directed by Cyril Frankel

Continuity & Trivia

George's messages:

  1. Attention! - I have a message of the utmost importance ... HELP -
  2. Pelley .... traitor
    • Help me
    • I am being held a prisoner in my own house
    • I am being drugged and interrogated daily, systematically they are milking every secret from me
    • My staff are being held as hostages, they will kill them if I do not co-operate
    • Tobin is in with them, Tobin is a traitor
    • But the ringleader, the man behind it all is...
    • The man who is posing as Jason, my butler

George delivers the cocktail recipe in four seconds flat, which Steed estimates would have taken five hundred bartenders four years - "Licencing hours permitting", observes Tara.

Valerie Leon, seen here greatly covered up and masked, made quite a name for herself in softcore Hammer sex-horror films such as "Blood from the Mummy's Tomb" (which she spent most of bare breasted and heaving bossomed) and several Carry On films, notably "Carry On Camping" and "Carry On Spying : Agent Ooh".
