Lyric by Herbert Kretzmer
It really is a great episode, I adored the complexity of the plot, I loved the horror vibe, and as for the visuals, they were first rate. An incredibly good looking episode, beautifully produced.
There is a true cleverness in this story, a plot device that's been seen once or twice, not always to such good effect, the perfect murder setup, symbiotic in a way.
That ending, that was wild, it was like The Persuaders crashed Carry on Loving, flying punches and flying cakes, confetti and rucks galore, I absolutely loved it.
It's worth noting that this was the first episode filmed with Diana Rigg, Elizabeth Shepherd started it, Rigg took over, and became iconic.
Some fine performances here, Patrick Cargill was great I thought, I also enjoyed John Woodvine's performance, if you've not seen his series, New Scotland Yard, I'd recommend it, it's well worth seeing.
Classic, 9/10.
