I loved this episode when I saw it way back on its first US television run, and I love it just as much now.
I don't even care that it breaks Avengers "conventions", with its ESP and telepathy-based plot. Steed and Mrs. Peel are an absolute delight, and the Dickens stuff is great fun. Plus the country house is spectacular.
It's just such a joy to watch these two pros skate elegantly across acres of double-entendres, obviously enjoying themselves as much as we are. And Emma reverses when she waltzes! Who knew? And Steed wanted socks for Christmas, just like Dumbledore...
Anyway, possibly my single favorite Avengers ep ever. Don't miss it.
