Sterling completes a mission in Hong Kong, but instead of returning to Nemesis, he is kidnapped and interrogated.
I can see this one's a little polarising, and I can unsubscribe why, but for me it's a very good entry, I liked the intensity, I loved the twist.
So, it's very easy to spot that Interrogation was made on the cheap, definitely done to save on the budget, I can only imagine that a mid series review had resulted in the need to tighten the purse strings, Shadow of The Panther had been quite a bit production, the result is an episode set in one new location, and some old footage thrown in.
This could easily have been a disaster, but I really enjoyed it, director Cyril Frankel did a fine job with it, this definitely put me in mind of The Prisoner, for me the show often had an Avengers feel to it, this episode is worlds apart, it sticks out like a sore thumb, but overall it works.
Colin Blakely is excellent as the sinister interrogator, and it has to be one of Stuart Damon's best outings as Stirling.
It's a shame that this wasn't a direct continuation of the previous episode, A case of Lemmings, that would have been great.
It's a shame that Sharron and Richard are sidelined for the most part, perhaps it was an opportunity for them to have a break from filming.
Intense, 8/10.
