1.10 - The Three-Handed Game
3.
Oh dear, what happened?! I've enjoyed all the episodes until now but we've suddenly hit the buffers.
A dreadful script, I gave up caring half way through. The only redeeming features were an (all too) brief appearance by Ronald Leigh-Hunt and Steed chasing a March F2 racing car around Silverstone in his Jaguar.

This is one of the writers block episodes and it shows as like Faces the whole episode suddenly changes.
The film quality looks especially poor on this episode - it could really benefit from some restoration.
I like the race track sequence (that's such a cool Jaguar!). Gambit life drawing is funny.
The beginning half just doesn't work for me. Having the guy who plays Soo Choy always irritates.
5/10

Wasn't Soo Choy in Trap? or are there 2 of them?Darren wrote:This is one of the writers block episodes and it shows as like Faces the whole episode suddenly changes.

Yes, but the actor who played Soo Choy popped up as a completely different character in Three-Handed.anti-clockwise wrote:Wasn't Soo Choy in Trap? or are there 2 of them?Darren wrote:This is one of the writers block episodes and it shows as like Faces the whole episode suddenly changes.

That's right, Jay. I still wonder why on the role of the Soo Choy chose unknown Terry Wood. We even do not know his date of birth and nationality.Timeless A-Peel wrote:Yes, but the actor who played Soo Choy popped up as a completely different character in Three-Handed.

Perhaps he starred for a penny. But if so - why was such a terrible economy? As far as I know they did not have good reasons for this.
