In this adequate installment of Secret Agent you have a small band of seemingly civilized spies operating merrily under the non-watchful eye of Lisbon security chief Pilkington, who is operated by three-time guest star Robert Urquhart.
Pilkington is oblivious to the espionage taking place under his nose, being more concerned with his social status among the local British community. Urquhart plays the doofus quite well, and he'll be back in 'The Man With The Foot' to demonstrate this talent once more.
The episode has a now familiar ending with Drake paired up with a beautiful woman. Our hero never "gets" the girl, but he is often found "with" the girl come end of story. You go John.
The only spy gadget I spotted in this episode is barely worth cataloging.. but ... Drake did use a version of the exploding cigar, this time in the form of a pipe, to wriggle out of a tough spot (that he willingly wriggled himself in to). This brings the unofficial spy gadget count for both series up to 22!
