Rather a dull story here about two brothers, Allen (Gary 'Arthur Terrall' Watson) and Richard (Paul Eddington), their pottery, and a highly valuable unbreakable ceramic developed by Allen. Cue many scenes of very breakable ceramics being mistaken for the tile in question.
One Ten has perceived the material's military and industrial importance, and puts Steed on the case in the guise of a ceramics expert (a bit like Watson in The Illustrious Client).
Also interested in the tile is the sinister de Groot, who disappointed me by not being Paul Whitsun-Jones but Steve 'in The Tenth Planet' Plytas. James 'Security Chief' Bree does an accent which completely threw me at first, I thought it was supposed to be a foreign one and could not it work out. Then it clicked that it's meant to be a Potteries accent.
Something about this ep puzzled me: One Ten describes Cathy as an amateur, presumably in contrast to professional agents like Steed. But if that's the case, why was she assigned to work with Steed back in Death Dispatch? Were they just getting people in off the street that week?
