A science-fiction flavour pulls this episode away from its stablemates, and creates a new television genre along the way. Michael Gough plays the diabolical mastermind perfectly. | |

| Dr Armstrong V* | Cybernaut 1 & Cybernaut 2 V* | beaten to death |
| Mrs Peel's cover when investigating Jephcott is that she represents a firm called "Winnell and Fentle", a clever twist on (Julian) Wintle and (Albert) Fennell, series producers. All the paperwork and signage in the episode refers to Industrial Developments, but whenever the company is mentioned by characters, it's a somewhat obvious overdub of Industrial Deployments - must have been a legal issue, similar to the redubs in A Sense of History When the cybernauts are fighting in Armstrong's warehouse, knocking boxes about the place, you can just catch a prop hand's hand pushing one of them over on the left of the screen. This and the next episode sit strangely together, as they both have a wheelchair-bound diabolical masterminds, although their motives are diagonally opposed. |
