Good espionage yarn
by searchanddestroy-12025-02-25

"The opening scene reminds me another one from the series, where it was matter of a skeleton instead of a dummy. Not a bad episode with however a strange climax, but surprising. John Gilling, once more, directed it. Yes, this is a complicated espionage intrigue, where it is question of NATO organization, and mercenaires paid to jeopardize some treaty. Not the best episode, not the most unforgettable, but still quite good enough to entertain you for nearly fifty minutes. I, repeat, the opening scene reminded me the other episode where it was a skeleton found in a train as the supposed conductor...."

When restoring the series for DVD release, Network discovered several cut sequences from this edition, all relating to the Auto Cam garage - presumably a real-life company of the same name had objected to its use following first broadcast. They were able to successfully track down a complete copy of the episode from Germany, and reinstate the excised material.
