    Putting the spice back into life.
    When various army members die, Steed and Mrs Peel investigate, and uncover a bizarre group, The Danger Makers.

    Excellent, truly an excellent episode, and despite the seemingly extravagant plot, it's perhaps one of the show's most down to Earth storylines, unlike most of the situations, this one is actually feasible, realistic.

    It makes you ponder the question, how on Earth can someone, so used to danger, excitement, living in danger, adjust to the suburban, everyday, mundane life. It's a fascinating concept.

    It has to be said that the concepts and ideas, the very writing itself was so advanced, so far ahead of its time, an addiction to danger, fascinating.

    Plenty of great scenes throughout, best of all for me was Mrs Peel's initiation scene. It was very tense, edge of the seat viewing, Steed's presence was of course different to normal.

    Acting here was first rate, Nigel Davenport, Douglas Wilmer and Moray Watson, all brilliant. I'm a huge fan of the late Fabia Drake, and she too is terrific here.

    An absolute classic, 9/10.
