Who's who?

The fans of the series have already noticed that this episode is more than inspired by the other one from Diana Rigg's era, called WHO'S WHO and another from Linda Thorson's era called THEY KEEP KILLING STEED. This one had the potential to be great but it unfortunately failed. Too light hearted for my taste. yes, it could have been great.

Trivia
Jill Melford had previously auditioned for Tara King in the final season of Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir (1961).

Goofs

Quotes
