The Murder Market
13 July 2020
Steed and Mrs Peel investigate the deaths of several businessmen, and discover a murder-for-hire organization posing as a marriage bureau.

The Murder Market is a pretty dull affair. This was the first episode Diana Rigg filmed, and although she's excellent, Emma is badly used by writer Tony Williamson. Patrick Macnee seems to be having a good time, and Peter Bayliss was good as one of the villains.

Writer Tony Williamson would later go to the BBC to work on Adam Adamant Lives!. Adam Adamant features an episode titled Death By Appointment Only, which has the same exact plot as The Murder Market. Williamson just happened to write both of them (I prefer Death By Appointment Only).
