Five years after a mine disaster, Mrs. Peel and Steed are called upon to investigate the spooky goings-on at the local inn. The ghost of the 16th Duke of Benedict, who was reputedly lost in the mine disaster, has been seen wandering the area and Emma joins SMOG and FOG in a ghost hunt. The Duke's ghost supposedly takes Emma with him to his final resting place in the collapsed mine, but Steed descends into the shaft to rescue her. He finds a secret underground city that is being used to stage an invasion of England; the mine disaster was just a cover-up for the plan. Steed rescues Emma and country by cutting off access to the topside elevator. Written by Marta Dawes
When a drunk spots a ghost in a graveyard, Steed and Mrs Peel discover a diabolical plot to conquer England.
The Living Dead is an extremely entertaining episode with a great guest cast. There's some quite good ideas, some more well executed than others: the "FOG" and "SMOG" acronyms are ingenious, but the set for the underground city is poorly realized. Julian Glover is good as the main villain, while Pamela Ann Davy is a hoot as Mandy. The only problem is that Diana Rigg is absent for most of the episode.
There's also a surprising number of guest actors from Season 4 popping up in this episode: Julian Glover was in "Two's a Crowd", Jack Watson was in "Silent Dust", Howard Marion-Crawford was in "What the Butler Saw", Edward Underdown was in "The Murder Market", John Carter was in "Death at Bargain Prices" and Vernon Dobtcheff was in "Room without a View". Whew!
