Some good dramatic double-bluffing in this ep, where Steed is tasked with protecting a diplomat Roland from assassination, but warns his superior One Twelve (Arthur 'warm drink' Hewlett) that an informer is at work in their department. Suspicion is immediately thrown on a certain Harvey - who appears to be an architect in his spare time - who's come into a lot of money recently. We're then led to believe that One Twelve might be the traitor, but it turns out to be Harvey after all. This had me fooled as I thought the Harvey theory was too obvious to be the correct one.
There's a nice bit where Steed, who plans to act as a decoy for Roland, is tutored by the latter in how to do his characteristic walk.
I think this is the last time I'll be seeing Dr King, who just gets to complain a bit in this story and to rugby-tackle a villain. Btw, I should have referred to him in the first place as Dr Martin 'Harold Chorley' King.
