Continuity and trivia
39:15 onwards — Steed has a flashback to his espionage training, but the footage is taken from Dirtier by the Dozen, Cat amongst the Pigeons and Target!.
Coldstream is another one of those remakable long-distance silenced pistol snipers… there’s no way it’s possible with the reduced muzzle velocity from the silencer.
