As part of a literary exchange between the USA and USSR, Jessica is in Russia, and is very quickly in trouble with The KGB.

It's a good, solid episode, it's certainly unique, and imaginative. I can just about imagine American detectives allowing Fletcher to run all over a crime, but the KGB!!!

So the story is a little far fetched, but still an enjoyable one, it's a time where people were fascinated still by what was hidden behind The Iron Curtain.

Some nice tricks used with the filming, to link actual scenes with super imposed scenes.

A nice cast, including David McCallum and Judy Parfitt..... The problem here though.....

.....The accents are hilarious, even René Artois would blush at some of these. Russian a la California.

Entertaining, 7/10.
