- Quotes
Catherine Gale: [Steed enters Mrs. Gale's bedroom through the window] What are you doing here? Go out and come through the front door like a civilized human being.
John Steed: I don't fancy navigating that wall again, it's very steep. Well, he has set you up nicely, hasn't he?
Catherine Gale: Say what you have to say, Steed, and then leave.
John Steed: That accident last night wasn't an accident. Which makes me wonder whe...
Catherine Gale: [interrupting] Shh! You've got a voice like a saw!
John Steed: [Mrs. Gale slips into the bathroom while Steed continues to talk] Makes me won - Like a *saw*? Look, it makes me wonder wether they were after you, or Brian whats-his-name. Perhaps they were using, hah, one stone to kill two birds. One block and tackle. That's interesting. Still in there love?
I'd go so far as to say, this is perhaps my favourite episode from the second series, it's a really interesting and intriguing storyline, I loved the mix of characters, and I think that this gave us the best of Cathy so far.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the episodes where Cathy is given the lead, and Blackman shines through once again, I know I shouldn't comment, but she looks sublime throughout, but her acting performance is terrific.
A really nice supporting cast here, top notch performances from Edward De Souza and the wonderful Philip Madoc.
Really good this one, the penultimate episode of Series two is a bit of a classic.
8/10.
