The trip are sent to Surrey, to the surgery of Doctor Pederson, who on the surface is a philanthropist, who takes great care of the local homeless, but it's a clever cover for a more sinister operation.
One of the show's most memorable episodes, The Mission is a sharp, well paced and imaginative, lots of memorable visuals. It's another that exposes the trio to medical scrutiny, that always adds a little extra tension, will they be exposed this time?
This one plays out more like a straight up thriller than some of the more Avengers/Bond style episodes, it's a well imagined plot.
There is a definite humour in this episode, for a change Sharron gets to deliver some amusing lines, but Hogan is a total hoot, that scene where he's locked up with Richard is a scream, Dermot Kelly's timing was spot on.
Quality acting here, the regulars are great, especially Stuart Damon, who puts on that wonderful accent. Anthony Bate was prolific, he always did the role of villain brilliantly, he's great here as Pederson. Harry Towb would have been very well known to viewers in 1969, a relatively small role for him.
A classic.
8/10.
