We're off to LA and Steve get's kidnapped, of course! Here we have terrorism in it's recognisable 70s form, memories of Munich, Patty Hearst and the SLA etc still fresh. We also have a black female ex-cop which must have been a great rarity back then. Ted Shackleford will recur later and go on to soap stardom in 'Dallas/Knot's Landing' and 'The Young and the Restless'. We also have a character called 'Tom Baker' who was the contemporary Dr Who which may be just coincidence or the writer was a fan. 5/10, not much to recommend it really. I think one way for WW to have been a better series would have been to have had more powerful villains, the one's she deals with are just normally so lame they never seem much of a threat. You'd love to have seen the Joker or Catwoman or someone on the series but you would suspect they would have been too expensive.
