Thingumajig

Teleplay by Terry Nation, Directed by Leslie Norman

Continuity & Trivia

John Moore must have been known for his look of extreme horror at being attacked by something mysterious - his performance here is very similar to that in The Hidden Tiger. So too Edward Burnham, whose zombie walk is reminiscent of his brief appearance in The Fear Merchants.

The telephone number of the vicarage is 476 6770.

22:55 - Steed and Inge visit the same quarry where Izzy Pound met his demise.

Tara's address is 9 Primrose Crescent, London W8.

33:10 - The x-rays of the thingumajig examined by Professor Truman are in fact the x-rays of the suitcase from Take me to your Leader.

50:04 - Tara plays a short snippet of the "The Avengers" theme on the organ.
