    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Goofs
      At the end, in the house, the invisibility is explained by electronics moving the furniture etc and creating the voices. However that doesn't explain the invisibility events in the government offices in the beginning of the episode.
    • Quotes

      John Steed: As I've demonstrated, Mrs. Peel, our mysterious intruder must have come in through the front gate.

      Emma Peel: Across the entrance hall...

      John Steed: Past three checkpoints...

      Emma Peel: Came down the security lift...

      John Steed: Across the main hall...

      Emma Peel: The Typing pool...

      John Steed: Passed a dozen clerks...

      Emma Peel: Ah, and don't forget the four secretaries, Steed.

      John Steed: Hmmm. Indeed not.

    Amusing with congenial guest stars
    Thoroughly enjoyed seeing this again after many years. It's delightfully silly though Phillip Levene's plot has a certain quirky logic, despite one or two anomalies. Production standards appear on the low side with the exception of Brodny's sumptuous headquarters. Responses to comedy are usually subjective and not everyone appreciates Warren Mitchell's cowardly braggart of an ambassador, (nor his turns as cab driver Marco in The Saint - he rarely did subtlety) but I enjoy them, ditto Roy Kinnear's bumbling mad scientist. Always liked Moira Lister too, most agreeable as the attractive villainess Elena and it looks as if she's really being thrown around in the well-staged fight with Diana Rigg.
