Having just watched The Positive-Negative Man I've been reminded how much I love the tagline to this episode. It's so sweet and funny . It also got me thinking, which s5 episode has the best end scene?
I'll do a series 4 one when I've reacquainted myself with the episodes, not seen them for about 4 years and don't remember them as much. W

From memory: ESCAPE IN TIME. Maybe I'm biased as the whole episode is a favourite of mine, but it's superb. Relates to the theme of the episode, charming and done for a great part without words and gives us some of the best Steed/Peel interaction.
Honourable mention for A FUNNY THING.... just not bothering to give a politician (and the PM at that) any of your time, wonderful.

I love the tag scene from Epic, it's so suggestive:
Steed and Emma sit in her armchairs, deciding which film to see that night: “I was Napoleon’s Nanny? (maybe not)”, “Lasagne 6½?” (“I walked out 3/8 of the way through”), “an old Stewart Kirby film at the Plaza?” (Emma frowns), “Nights of Abandon - unbridled passion, critics raved, won many awards... closed yesterday.” “Oh dear”, says Steed, “...unbridled passions - why don’t we just spend the evening at home?”
“Why not?” concurs Emma, “Let’s get back to my apartment.” She kicks at the wall and it collapses - they’re still at Schnerk’s studio!
(reminds me that I need to upgrade the carousel on my site to one that supports youtube, as they now break out of the one I use)
