The Avengers: False Witness (1968)
Season 7, Episode 7
9/10
Brilliant, original episode.
6 September 2022
Efforts to bring down blackmailer Lord Edgefield are scuppered every time a witness comes forward, each time a witness speaks, they protest Edgefield's innocence.

What a brilliant, original episode this is, it's so original, so clever. Those opening sequences were wonderful, so baffling and intriguing, they really did serve to grab the viewer's interest. It's fast paced, it's exciting, it's also really funny, couldn't find a single flaw here.

It looks terrific, especially the fight scenes at the dairy, and that moment with the butter machine.

Tara King at her absolute best, Thorson puts in the most energetic performance, she's brave, feisty, and keen to act on her own impulses. As for that Lotus she drives, just wow. The fight scene at the dairy, her best moment so far?

John Bennett, one of my favourites, he was terrific here.

9/10.
