The Girl from Auntie

Steed returns from holiday a few days early, when he visits Mrs Peel, he finds an attractive blond living in her apartment, posing as her.

This is definitely one of the best I've seen so far, an absolute riot. There really is something captivating about this one, it's unique, it's funny, it's unlike any other episode.

If the show is guilty of one thing, it's perhaps the formula, don't get me wrong, it works beautifully, but as an episode develops, you know what's going to come, Mrs Peel is going to get tied up, but will definitely end up overpowering her aggressor, what this episode does, is throw the rule book out of the window.

I absolutely love the idea of a knitting needle wielding granny, that's one of the most curious, outrageous ideas on the show so far.

Liz Fraser admirably steps in for the great Mrs Peel, in her own demure style, she doesn't try to copy, she plays the part incredibly well. Her chemistry with Macnee is very evident.

Fraser apart, great performances from Alfred Burke and David Bauer. Bernard Cribbins and Sylvia Coleridge are an absolute joy to behold, both are hilarious.

A masterclass, 10/10.
