Maybe festive, but not exactly cheerful; the villainous machinations of the disturbingly believable Jeanette Sterk give me the creeps. Welcome relief from the fancy dress costumes, especially Mrs Peel's.

continuity and trivia
Steed receives a Christmas card from Mrs Gale and comments "Mrs Gale! How nice of her to remember me! ...What can she be doing at Fort Knox?" (Honor Blackman was filming "Goldfinger" at the time).

Steed's Bentley is one of the older tourer types, with a large main windshield and two small personal shields. The hinges on the main one must have gone, because it keeps flopping down during the drive down to Storey's house.
In one of Steed's nightmares, the Santa figure becomes an executioner beside a guillotine, and we catch a glimpse of his face - it's not Mervyn Johns, so who is it? (Here's a hint, he was Steed's 'replacement' in Quick Quick Slow Death)
