GOING GOING TO WATCH

From the opening shot of Nelson&apos;s statue in Trafalgar Square, which then pans down to Gene Bradley&apos;s black chauffeur driven Rolls Royce which is going along the busy streets of London, and he is being accompanied with his dippy, glitzy blond girlfriend sets the tone for this episode of THE ADVENTURER.

The plot of this episode is unusual, because it is centred about a Chinese Ming vase, which Alfred Hitchcock would called the McGuffin.

The McGuffin is a device which is used to drive the plot of the story.

This episode does have an element of an Alfred Hitchcock spy thriller.

It involves two International businessmen, one German and the other Japanese, and a defecting Russian scientist.

The intercutting between the scenes where each of the characters who are studying a map of London is good. In fact the editing both visually and with the sound is excellent.

As usual it the threesome of Mr Parminter, Diane Marsh and Gavin Taylor that interrupt the flow of the story, with Parminter as ever being the buffoon. In fact his character only acts like a buffoon when he is in the company of Miss Marsh and Mr Taylor, which is notice in other episodes of this tv series.

There are some excellent shots and stock footage of London, especially Admiralty Arch, and The MOD in Whitehall, that is put to use in a very effective way.

In fact all the London locations such as Hyde Park and The Albert Hall are excellent examples of how to make a tv show in the capital city of London.

Some of the actors who guest stared in this episode, were always typecast with the same kind of roles that they would portray in other tv shows.

Arnold Diamond as the villain, Burt Kwouk as a ruthless oriental business man, Norman Bird as a seedy pompous gentleman and Robert James as a posh authoritarian figure.

It is well directed by Val Guest, and Gerald Kelsey&apos;s script is very good, but with these two men who were the director and the writer of The Bradley Way, the tv viewer would enjoy a good episode like this one.

THIS IS OKAY.
