Tricky... they change so often... depends what I've been watching recently and my mood. Currently (in no particular order):

Too Many Christmas Trees - warmly chilling
The Golden Eggs - grimly nasty, superb direction
All Done With Mirrors - summery seaside spy action
xxxCastle De'Ath - cosy and Scottish xxx
strike that - no Castle De'Ath, instead I've been reminded of the perfection that is:
Fog - crikey, it's brilliant, isn't it? How could they not have done London Victoriana before?
Mandrake - lovely location and characters, Cathy's great (and that famous fight!)
Target! - the TNA trio all get good action/dialogue
The Town of No Return - superbly atmospheric, superlative acting
The Hour That Never Was - great mystery and location/guest actors
Mission To Montreal - just huge fun with two engaging male Avengers
Bullseye - Cathy has great rapport with the "villain"

Honorable mention: Death at Bargain Prices - quintessential Steed 'n' Emma

Overall, 3 Emmas, 3 Cathys, 2 Taras, 1 TNA and 1 Martin King. Seems fair!

I did do a poll for all the seasons a few months ago, which you can find if you go back a bit on the list of threads. If you want to start another poll combining all episodes I bet there'll be an awful lot of Emma Peel ones on most people's lists!
Here's mine;
1st The Cybernauts
2. Too many Xmas trees.
3. The hour that never was.
4. The house that Jack built.
5. The town of no return.
6. Escape in time.
7. The hidden tiger.
8. Death at bargain prices.
9. Game.
10.Murdersville.

My top 5 by the way, are the best 5 hours of television ever produced! Richard.

2. Faces
3. Target
4. Honey for the Prince
5. What the Butler Saw
6. The Hidden Tiger
7. Game

Feel the Emma/TNA bias.

Darn, I forgot "Fog". Will have to replace "Castle De'Ath" with it. One (more) up for Tara!
