Naive Avengersthon - 18. Intercrime

Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke return, but they fail to grab me with this story about a businesslike approach to crime. Very straight plot about the girlfriend (Angela 'Number Eighty-six/Mrs Cuthbert' Browne) of the Chairman of Intercrime (Patrick 'Uncle Aquila' Holt) finding out how he earns his living, and having to be removed.

It's enlivened only by Cathy impersonating German hitwoman Hilda Stern (Julia Arnall, who I think must have been the incomprehensible German wife in Carry On Regardless). An excellent bit of tension in this subplot where Cathy, confronted by the real Hilda Stern, is invited to prove her identity by shooting a wayward Intercrime employee.

Alan 'almost Fenner' Browning and Jerome 'Dr Stevens' Willis as Intercrime henchmen.

Not so much for Steed to do again in this one, just a bit of rifle shooting at the range which Intercrime runs as a front, and a pretty lame final gag.
