False Witness

Teleplay by Jeremy Burnham, Directed by Charles Crichton

Continuity & Trivia

The street corner with the 'phone booth is unsignposted - presumably removed by the crew - except for the couple of seconds [2:50- 2:55] when Melville steps from the booth and walks off when it reads MACKENNAL STREET, NW8. It's gone again when Penman passes the booth at 3:00.

Steed very unsubtly checks out Rhonda from head to toe, both times she walks down the bus to hand him something.

Edgefield has a partially whited-out version of the painting from From Venus with Love on his wall [21:00]

Tara's strange 'phone call to Sir Joseph:
TARA: Sir Joseph!
SIR JOSEPH: Yes, Miss King?
TARA: This is very unimportant!
SIR JOSEPH: Well don't bother me now, I'm very busy.
TARA: I don't want to warn you!
SIR JOSEPH: I beg your pardon?
TARA: Whatever you do, don't be careful.
SIR JOSEPH: Look, er, you're wasting my time Miss King (HE HANGS UP)
TARA: Sir Joseph?!
