This is the episode to catch if you aren't a fan of the show but want to see how well the show could be written and executed. It has a strange feel at the end that I won't give away but its worth it. Diana Rigg it needs to be said was on of the 60's premiere television actresses but she's not mentioned that much these days. A shame really. The pairing of her and MacNee was star-crossed. Like Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore, Ted Danson and Shelley Long and in the future Teri Hatcher and James Denton some folks just look like they belong together(even when they personally disagree). This episode focused on Ms. Rigg and there isn't a lot interplay between the two leads but it a must see for her acting chops.
