9/10

The missing toothbrush!

British Agents are betraying their country, giving their secrets away, their informants are dying.

What an ingenious episode, this has to be the first straight up thriller themed episode for quite some time, it's almost as if they'd decided to strip things back, and offer up a less outlandish episode.

The techniques used by Colonel Mannering are deplorable, but devilishly clever, and unlike anything I've seen so far from The Tara King era, you feel as if these events could actually have happened.

Christopher Lee put in an outstanding performance here, he was terrific as Mannering, he's smart, sinister, and without even trying to be, he's pretty menacing.

Terrific production values, those army uniforms look first class.

Great episode, 9/10.
