Steed plans to entrap retired villain Spagge (Patrick Magee, returning from Killer Whale) into a robbery, by putting Cathy forward with a carefully researched plan to rob a bullion vault.
It's impossible to say any more without spoiling a really good pull-back-and-reveal in the middle of the episode - I haven't been so completely taken in since I read The Magus.
Another Killer Whale actor, Fredric 'Potter' Abbott, returns as a gang member, likewise Alan 'Hector' Haywood from Chorus of Frogs and Geoff L'Cise from Death Dispatch. Martin 'Styggron' Friend is also in the gang.
Neil 'Sam Seeley' Wilson returns from The Frighteners as a guard.
Norman Chappell is great as Spagge's accomplished butler Fleming (Steed must like him too, as he lets him escape.)
