Legacy of Death

Teleplay by Terry Nation, Directed by Don Chaffey

Continuity & Trivia

Steed knocks one of the wings off his toy aeroplane just before Zoltan arrives. He's repaired it by the time Tara arrives and he tells her it's for his nephew's 10th birthday, which was three years ago; he complains that it takes a six year old three hours to build one.

32:30 - Tara loses the convoy by driving into the driveway of George Benstead's house from Dead Man's Treasure, and the summerhouse is from Mission... Highly Improbable.

33:00 - a snippet of music from Something Nasty in the Nursery is played as they enter the summerhouse.

50:23 - Steed must have had too much champagne earlier, as he gives most of the wine to Tara.
