Trivia
Emma's leather dress was so expensive (over £400), that there was only one available, worn both by You Have Just Been Murdered (1967) and stunt-woman Cyd Child. They first did the scenes with Diana, then the fighting scenes with Cyd. It turned out, that it wasn't fit to fight, it had to be mended several times between the scenes on the bridge, and after completing it was completely ruined.

Goofs
As Mrs. Peel follows the baddie back to his leader, the camera dolly is visible in the lower corner of the screen.

Quotes
Emma Peel: Now, take me to your leader. Or, lead me to your taker.

You Have Just Been Murdered

After several prominent businessman suddenly withdraw a million pounds each, Steed and Mrs Peel suspect a fiendish blackmailer is at work.

This one takes a while to get going, but it's worth watching for the last twenty minutes. There's a good guest cast, good fight scenes and a memorable villain from George Murcell as Mr Needle (whose hideout is in a haystack). It's nice to see Diana Rigg getting more to do as well.
