This was very disappointing, a sad end to the BW era. QQF, an organisation which arranges role-playing fantasies, is being used by Arkadi (George 'Klieg' Pastell) to set up the assassination of Prince Ali. Much hackneyed humour about harems, polygyny and royal whims, such as commanding Steed to bowl to him in a game of indoor cricket.
Unusually, both the opening and closing sequences are quite pleasing: we open with Steed and Mrs Peel returning happily from a party that's lasted all night, and close with them apparently on a flying carpet.
