Steed and Tara hatch a plan to infiltrate The Alpha Academy, a training school, they believe is linked to a missing Agent.
Once again, I saw the name Terry Nation, and for very excited, but having spoken to fans of this show, I was told not to expect much.
For the most part I enjoyed it, obviously made early on, there's Tara's hair, and the slight unease between Macnee and Thorson, who presumably were still getting to know one another.
It is somehow less confident than later episodes from the series, the story is a little run on the mill, and it does look very much like a studio production, but it's not without some really good points too. Tara's apartment is super stylish.
Very much a spy fi episode, the plot is very zany, but it's intriguing enough, and like no other from the show that I've seen.
I liked The Villains, they very much put me in mind of Genesis of The Daleks, you can see Terry Nation's stamp all over them, they're regimented, emotionless, almost robotic.
One issue I have to highlight, the inconsistency in how Tara was written, in some episodes she's a fighting machine, in others she looks like a total amateur, nothing to do with Thorson's capabilities, I liked her, but at times she feels like a different character.
Not my favourite, but I quite enjoyed it, 7/10.
