Teleplay by Donald James, Directed by Ray Austin

This episode is especially interesting as it gives us a glimpse of Tara Mark I, while John Bryce was still in charge of production. The producers wanted Thorson to be a blonde but the bleaching damaged her hair, forcing Linda to wear wigs; she's also slightly overweight. They try to disguise it by having her wear a large pink coat but the difference is obvious around 25:00 when she returns home, pink and plump, then emerges from the bedroom, dark and slim, in a brief little tartan outfit (see feature images 2 & 3).

When Steed visits Colonel Nsonga, he's listening to some of the music from Small Game for Big Hunters
