Again, as no one had commented on this for many years, I decided to watch it again.
I remember this as a middling average script from series 5, but I id quite enjoy it and I had forgotten the slightly more series first part. For a season which is often described as comic-book, this episode is quite literally straight out of a comic book, with the comic providing some of the plot lines.
It was very clever how the artwork was used to predict the events of the story, but how the villain would know what Mrs Peel would be wearing, I'm not so sure.
The whole upside-down scenes were quite well managed for the mid 60s, even making a chair seemingly 'fall down' from the ceiling was quite good.
Still quite a middling episode - I give this a 6 overall.

All I can think of is that Flemyng fell behind with the schedule of the episode, but Clemens and Fennell were not very strict in enforcing this, as they believed more time and effort meant a better product, then if this was the problem, he must have really lost control of things.Frankymole wrote:Is it known why Flemyng was removed?
I would concur with this assessment...he was removed because falling behind
and time costs money...even back then, the series wasn't flushed with a lot of extra cash for budgets, etc
