An excellent episode, with a more serious tone than we've seen in some time. In fact I'm not sure if there are any komedy bits in it at all.
Sir Andrew Boyd's highly topical project for a united Europe is in peril - because he can't bring himself to enter the conference room owing to eerie premonitory dreams. When he's duly killed, his replacement Lord Melford starts having the same dreams and the same panic. Allan Cuthbertson (from Death At Bargain Prices) is great as Melford, a perfectly credible diplomat and lord yet also able to make the bizarre dream scenes work.
Very tense scene where target practice turns nasty on Steed and he finds himself as the target. Ingenious solution from the Steedster too.
Mrs Peel's fight with one of the henchmen is unusually fast and realistic. It looks like they're really trying to hurt each other rather than just practicing judo.
