Joseph | A fantastic, plot free episode. I really like this one, and it is my personal favourite. But it does not achieve best of show status for two reasons. 1. It has no plot. 2. Steed and Emma are separated for the majority of it. Nonetheless, I will give it... | |

| Piers | I'm more a plot and character fan, but this episode really works despite being light on both of these. The sheer joy of rampaging around the home counties in classic cars is overwhelming, and you just have to go along for the ride. Well worth watching again and again. | |

Danvers, badly wounded by enemy agents, hides his despatch box
inside a treasure chest that is the prize in a forthcoming car
rally, and sends Steed an invitation to enter the rally.
Steed and Emma do so in order to retrieve the box, but
Danvers' killers pursue them. Stranger things are afoot,
however, when the host of the rally is unexpectedly murdered,
and contestants are shot at. Emma is surprised by her
navigator, Mike, who also wants the box and straps her into a
racing simulator that gives lethal shocks to the driver if
they make mistakes - the same way he had killed Sir George.
Steed arrives to deliver her from peril. The Avengers recover
the box, and the champagne, but Penelope Plain makes off with
the prize money.
Mrs Peel is alarmed to discover that the 'reverse' setting on
Steed's new razor gives her a bushy moustache.
