Trivia
In this story, Steed reminisces about his days in the army just after World War. However, in an earlier segment, The Hour That Never Was (1965), he specifically says he was in the Royal Air Force. In reality, Patrick Macnee, who plays Steed, was in the Navy.

Goofs
It is obvious that Patrick McNee doesn't perform the stunts. His double is very recognizable.

9/10

Classic episode.

Monty Bristow is setting games for people from his past, dangerous games.

If I'm honest, I was possibly a little concerned after the previous episode, I feared there may be more of a shift towards the comedy end, and whilst there is a comical undertone here, it's a bit of a classic. It's a wonderfully imaginative episode.

I loved the plot, I loved the characters, the energy of the episode, and I was really impressed by Tara King, we are yet to see if she has fitting skills or not, but huge credit to the team for not making her a carbon copy of Mrs Peel. I'm really interested to learn more about her.

Peter Jeffrey was excellent as Bristow, he's of course appeared on the show before, but I think this was my favourite of his appearances, I loved the character.

9/10.
