Featured review
Escape from reason
Were they on drugs? Were they naive? Were they just playing around and being plain silly? This episode seems to be written by a group of 10-year old kids who have the opportunity to write for TV and try to squeeze everything they deem exciting into one single episode. I have hard time believing that this was actually written by adults. The story is so utterly pointless and stupid it either entertains you immensely or makes you close your eyes in embarrassment. And I have to say, dear sweet Diana Rigg is even more irritating than usually. Her total inability to act her way out of a latex suit is especially painful in the torture chamber scene, where she still throws her head back whimsically and shoots casual, near-funny one-liners even though she is to be poked in the ar--se with red hot gridiron. She occasionally leaps at a frantic attempt to register fear, but since these attempts are stillborn, the editor wisely only shows us short glimpses at what she imagines to be fear, but what are merely the shots of Miss Rigg NOT throwing her head back whimsically. Patric Macnee has also long since given up his acting abilities for what I believe used to be called something like 'suave elegance'. Makes the viewer desperately yearn for some indication of real and plausible fear in their eyes.
By the way, they do have especially beautiful eye whites in this episode. I wonder if they flossed.
