The Avengers: A Sense of History (1966)
Season 4, Episode 24
8/10
Murder by bookshelves
7 December 2023
A progressive economist is stopped by some students dressed as Robin Hood's men for Rag Week and he's shot with an arrow. Someone at the University of St Bode's is trying to stop the Europia Plan and return Europe to a fascist dictatorship. Suspicion falls on the brilliant young fascist Duboys, who rules the university with insolence, but is he the main fiend behind this diabolical plan?

If watching the professor forever doing his isometric exercises isn't enough to make this enjoyable, then the rest can still do the job with a splendid performance by Patrick Mower as a bully and the leader of some fractious students and an intriguing storyline on the grounds of university where politics and rebellion mix with abandonment. Cue: Emma Peel ( who dressed up as Robin the Hood) and Steed ( dresses as Sheriff of Nottingham) to round up the villains after some bout of hunting through some thesis and dodging some arrows. Nice setting with the alcoves and stone corridors.
