    • Trivia
      The helmets and uniforms worn by Masgard and his men are almost identical to those worn by the firemen in Fahrenheit 451 (1966).
    • Goofs
      There is a shadow of a boom mike moving on the wall the first time Steed meets Kermit the hermit.
    • Quotes

      Emma Peel: Do you believe in ghosts, Steed?

      John Steed: Someone does: Kermit, the hermit.

      Emma Peel: You didn't answer my question. Do you believe?

      John Steed: Let's put it this way: strange happenings need looking into. Now you stay here and browse around, and I'll go and see Kermit the hermit.

    A good episode where something is needed to ne explained...
    First, I want to say that's the first and also maybe the only episode of the series where we see John Steed kissing Emma Peel - on the cheek, OF COURSE - and, when you are a fan of the series, that's very incredible to watch. And the second thing is that I have not quite understood the link between the ghost appearance and the rest of the topic, the underground army seekink for UK domination...But maybe after all I am dumb.
