Continuity & Trivia

1. 4:13 — Steed seems to get Haller and Valarti mixed up when he first greets them at 3:00; he gets it right from 4:13 onwards.
2. 4:36 and throughout - The fog-bound set upon which most of the action of this episode takes place is reused in the intro scene of Who Was That Man I Saw You With? nad uses the same pre-fab cobblestones as the opening scene of The Correct Way To Kill.
3. 4:47 — Is that Cliff Diggins with a false beard stalking through the mist as the killer?
4. 8:35 — Emulating the master - John Hough uses one of Peter Hammond’s directorial tricks, filming through Grunner spectacles to have a multi-layered shot. Hammond was Hough’s mentor and encouraged him to become a director.
5. 9:00 — The telephone in the booth bears the number 460–9618 X, but why is there a standard telephone in a booth?
6. 11:26 — “We’re just entering the month of November now” - more overlapping cases for The Avengers? It is, however, att odd with Sander’s receipt (38:50) : Sir Geoffrey Armstrong 7th November 1968 : To the hire of one hansom-cab Four weeks rental in advance : £80/-/-.
7. 12:50 & 14:20 — Mask and Face Theatrical Costumiers, 15 Corder Street W1
8. 15:00 — We skip from Mask & Face straight to Osgood’s - David Lodge’s scenes as the master cutler, Maskell, who gives Steed the lead to Armstrong from the sword stick all ended up on the cutting room floor; he remains billed in the closing credits even though he never appears on screen.
9. 23:59 — Surely one of the members is Charles Osgood, who’s just been murdered.
10. 26:27 (26:50) - the iron maiden from Castle De’Ath is in the club’s black museum.
11. 31:00 — Hand-held camerawork here, as mentioned by John Hough in his commentary.
12. 31:20 — You can tel it’s Travers in the mid shot, the scene isn’t quite dark enough to keep his identity a mystery.
13. 36:18 — That’s a stand-in for Macnee striding through the fog.
14. 37:55 — the cartwheel topples and runs over the dead Sanders, but in the next shot it’s squarely against the desk, Sanders no longer in shot.
15. 38:50 — Bartholemew Sanders, Conveyancers of Quality were located in Grantson Mews, London (must be W1 as it’s close to the costumiers, and Steed sets off on foot to visit it).
16. 47:35 — Steed says that Kezorkian, the Russina Imperial Guard, taught him to dodge dart thrown at blinding speed, a precursor to The Gladiators...
