The Town of No Return

Steed and Peel arrive at a small seaside town, where agents have been disappearing, and the locals are very, very strange.

I absolutely loved this, it's a brilliant first episode from Series four, I love the strangeness, the mystery, I am a massive Dr Who fan, my favourite story being Android invasion, this actually has those vibes, a strange village where our two central characters arrive, and soon learn that something isn't quite right.

Great sense of mystery, it gives you an uneasy feeling, it's beautifully done.

I kid you not, this is one of the most visually glorious things from the 1960's, and I don't just mean Emma Peel or Steed's carpet bag, it appears to have been shot entirely on film, it looks sublime.

I mainly wanted to see this, naturally as it's the debit for Emma Peel, and there is no denying, she is something special, her chemistry with Steed is unquestionable, but her acting, presence and delivery are all first rate.

I learned some while back that Eleanor Bron was originally thought of for the role of Emma Peel, and I actually could have seen that, but the role was meant for Rigg.

Well known faces here to enjoy, Terence Alexander, complete with wonderful moustache, and a young Patrick Newell.

9/10.
