The Avengers: School for Traitors (1963)
Season 2, Episode 20
4/10
Painfully dull.
21 January 2024
A College lecturer is killed, The Police believe it to be suicide, Steed is convinced it's murder, once again he relies on Venus to be on the inside.

A contender for the show's most boring and incomprehensible episode, I've watched this one a few times, and on each occasion I've zoned out, and found myself struggling to find any interest in it.

1963, so there are cold war vibes I guess, and I half expected it to go down that route, it may have been a more interesting pathway. The actual nub of the story, just didn't make sense.

I found it so hard to put the pieces together, it's all letters, face creams and horrible songs, honestly if you manage to put the pieces together, and get some enjoyment out of it, then credit to you, it just sent me to sleep.

Melissa Stribling and John Standing both do a good job, but they are up against it, the script is so tedious. I honestly thought Standing was a tutor initially.

4/10.
