The Rotters

Teleplay by Dave Freeman, Directed by Robert Fuest

Continuity & Trivia

7:45 - surely destroying the desk with the wood rotting device would also destroy all the paper inside it, including the photographs.

16:44 - the tenor bell has no clapper.

20:06 - clear redub of Steed saying, "That's Pendred and Pym gone, who are the others?"

39:13 - Mother says Sawbow was shot point blank, but he wasn't! Sandford was good 20' away at least.

Tara's recipe:
Plain flour, 2lb. (hand milled on stone), 4 dozen eggs (all laid by pedigree hens within the last 3 hours), salt (from the coast of Brittany, coarse ground), seven rare and exotic herbs, milk (llama), sugar (wild cane), and pimentos. mix together for ten minutes and after the master chef's touch, you have amushroom omlette ten minutes later.
