Ardmore: Operating is our only chance! Now lets see, I'll, ehm, I'll perform it here. Have the whole of this area shrubbed and vacuumed. I shall need two technical nurses, a standby programmer and an electrical anaesthetist.

Amusing and offbeat

A highly amusing and offbeat episode with George the country's top computer treated as a hospital patient by doctors when someone tries to sabotage him via shooting, acid corrosion and shutting him down, but being a super computer he still manages to send part of a message on a print-out but the Avengers are still none the wiser as to who is trying to disable him and call upon his inventor to fill in the clues. A thoroughly enjoyable episode with Tara looking hot in a party costume and mask and even shows her natural Canadian accent when impersonating the inventor's relative.
