I used to really love Murdersville, and put it as a favourite, but I find now that all the solo Steed or Emma stories are lacking. Half of the brilliance of the Rigg era comes from the Steed/Emma interplay, so the instant you lose one of them, you lose something from the episode. This is in stark contrast to the Tara character, who gets stronger the less time she spends with Steed. I don't think it's a coincidence that some of her best stories are solo or nearly-solo efforts. The writers do a better job with her when they don't have to play her against Steed.Frankymole wrote:So do I.Timeless A-Peel wrote:The Correct Way to Kill.

Murdersville leaves a sour taste, isn't that great a plot, and Emma acts totally out of character (seems she checked her brain in at the door).
He does, and I agree with you. But I have read that BC re-wrote Levene's episodes to inject some humour. I well remember an interview where BC said "Philip Levene was like Linda Thorson. He had no sense of humour"Rodney wrote:Clemens is justifiably tagged as 'Mr Avengers' but after Season 4 the best episodes are rarely his. I prefer those of Williamson and Levene. Too many of Clemens' have an unpleasant feel to them where sadism replaces or undercuts surrealism.
