Poll question on disguised henchman episodes

Post by Anticlockwise »

The Avengers was known for the seemingly vulnerable fragile passerbyer who actually turns out to be a killer granny henchman in disguise.
Can you name the episodes? Any kind of disguised henchman qualifies.

My favourite was Deep Roy as Klokoe the dwarf assassin in The New Avengers' Target! episode. When he's riding round on a tricycle dressed as a little boy with a balloon, and stabs Steed with a needle. Very sinister!

There's another granny henchman at the beginning of Super Secret Cypher Snatch - and of course the rest of the episode has them disguised as window cleaners.

The man who's "not my nanny!" at the end of 'Something Nasty in the Nursery'; a case of a boss who becomes his own henchman maybe.
