    • Quotes

      Emma Peel: [bent over dead body] The position of the head. He's been hit from the front and yet there isn't a trace of bruising on the face.

      John Steed: Conclusion, honorable lady?

      Emma Peel: In-ku.

      John Steed: Ink who?

      Emma Peel: It's a karate blow. Delivered by an expert, it breaks the neck easier than a hangman's noose.

      John Steed: Many in this country, experts?

      Emma Peel: Very few. Barely a handful in the whole of Europe.

    A GREAT IDEA BUT WITH SLOW DEVELOPMENT
    The Avengers investigate the murder of several scientists under strange circumstances, all have ended with a broken neck. Emma enrolls in a judo academy as she suspects these killing blows were done by a martial arts specialist, while Steed investigates an automation company. The story of the killer robots is great and has had two sequels, this first installment has a defect, its first part is quite slow and can even be boring, you have to wait 25 minutes for the episode to gain momentum, Netizens have a menacing look and Dr. Armstrong driving them remotely from his wheelchair in the dark warehouse is pretty scary.
