A bit of a let-down this one, a fairly dull tale about civil servant Trevelyan (Haydn 'Lenny Vosper' Jones) faking his own death and hiding in a funfair until Ray 'You cannot come in' Barrett can smuggle him - and his valuable secret knowledge - out of the country.
That description makes it sound a lot more interesting than it is. Ray Barrett is a perfectly satisfactory, acceptably menacing villain I suppose.
One thing I didn't get is why Steed sent Venus to take pictures of the funfair in the first place. Her reaction suggests that his stated reason was implausible, but he had no reason to suspect that Trevelyan was hiding there at the time.
David 'Kerensky' Graham as the producer at the recording studio Venus is using. Rhoda 'Marta in State of Decay' Lewis as Mrs Trevelyan.
And I see co-writer Geoffrey Orme also wrote The Underwater Menace.
