Ep by ep; Angels of Death


Another winner, a great concept, Terrance Alexander who will later gain fame in Bergerac, an amazing set, must have cost the earth and some terrific humour, especially like Purdey's Harlem Globetrotter line. And of course 70s glamour girls Pamela Stephenson (who'll recur in The Professionals) and Caroline Munro in nurses' outfits. Love the bit where Steed starts to fight the drugs, doing the correct things to resist them (footage taken from Dirtier by the Dozen). Plus Purdey on a box!

First watched this one during Scout camp, it was so wet in Enniskillen we bedded down in a church hall and watched this, the Michael Caine/Christopher Reeve film Deathtrap and Party with the Rovers. The Church of Ireland had a strange choice of moral programming.
