      When the attempt is made on Mrs Peel's life with the golf buggy, it tips right over on its side but when the view changes, it is at a 45 degree angle.

      John Steed: Poor Ted, never had a chance to swing his steel shafted handle-to-head balanced niblet.

    5/10
    Not my favourite episode.
    Steed and Mrs Peel find themselves investigating s death by golf ball at The Craighleigh Golf Course.

    I should make it clear at this stage, that I am not a gold lover, it generally is a sport that sends me to sleep, as did this episode. The only one I've seen so far, that I didn't enjoy, something was lacking, even the wonderful dynamic between Macnee and Rigg seemed to lack the usual sparkle.

    Some of the least inspiring villains so far, none of them seemed to add anything, even Patrick Allen, who generally plays a villain with a degree of vigour, check him out in Sherlock Holmes for example, is just off colour somehow.

    On the plus side, it looked great as usual, I loved the opening scenes, they did set up a real air of mystery and intrigue, and it was great to see a young Richard Marner playing the on screen scientist, he'd of course become well known for Allo Allo.

    5/10.
