- GoofsIn the third minute, as David Collier is being chased by the black Mercedes, about two minutes before he escapes on the crowded bus, you can see a black man hiding in a doorway and backing off behind the white wall as David and the Merc approach - just an extra, or inadvertent crew member visible?
Featured review
It's good, but very padded.
This is the first episode that's felt padded, the first fifteen minutes features the longest chase I have ever seen. Eric Morrison is chased by an unknown figure in a Mercedes, and it goes, on..... and on...... and on.
The chase is well done, and as it's all location work, it looks particularly good. It just goes on too long, nothing else major happens here.
It takes on more of a fantasy feel, as the heavies are ousted by Basileos and Charlambos, in the guise of David Collier.
A word for Maria, loved her character, Carmen Gomez would later appear in Dr Who's The Three Doctors, alongside Colin Baker, it's a lovely performance.
The first episode that was suffered eight part serial lull. 6/10
