I've just followed a hunch and they're actually sets from Gerry Anderson's live action show The Protectors starring Robert Vaughn and Nyree Dawn Porter (Who Sydney Newman wanted for Cathy Gale). It's Vaughn's character's apartment.
Harry Rule's pad! I thought I recognised the sofa. I wonder how ITC stuff got caught up with the ABPC/Thames Avengers lot?

I'll do my best with these...

Game - the entrance to Bristow's House (first appeared in Whoever Shot Poor George and then You'll Catch Your Death)

Killer - the reception to REMAK.

Killer - The house of the architect who designed REMAK (as far as I recall it's a while since I saw this episode.

Image

Super Secret Sypher Snatch - Jarret's apartment (with a redress and a door shifting it becomes a flat in False Witness)

Image

Take Me To Your Leader - I'm not 100% on this one but I'm fairly certain it's the entrance to the crypt that Tara gets locked in.

I've drawn a blank on this.

That looks like Bhaktivedanta Manor in Letchmore Heath (which was bought by George Harrison in the early 70's) and featured in episodes of Department S and Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased).

Ah yes, so it is.

It could be either series, they were made consecutively.

I think it's great how you can say:
Killer - The house of the architect who designed REMAK (as far as I recall it's a while since I saw this episode.
and know the episodes so well that you can identify all these just from memory!

I'm sure you are right about the entrance to the crypt because there is also one of the crypt interior:

Here's also a few more (easier?) Avengers ones by way of variety:

and

this gets more and more interesting every day!
There are half-a-dozen interior shots with low numbers and I wonder if they are perhaps inside this house, or a different [non-Avengers] location entirely? A sample is below:

The second one is after the church tower has been rotted away in The Rotters.

Third one is the street outside Kreer's house in Stay Tuned.

And the fourth is the fancy dress shop from Fog. Which seeing this shot makes me realise it was a redress of a set from Take Me To Your Leader.

Isn't the church crypt interior (with tomb) again from "Take Me To Your Leader"?

This looks very similar to a shot that had Emma Peel getting in to her Lotus (in an obvious studio) from series 5. I think it appears in more than one episode. Though it'd be strange to have a series 5 photo amongst all these series 6 ones.

Darren, you're very good at spotting these reused sets.
