Good episode but not that Avengers either

That's only the third episode I see from the second season and this scheme is rather more espionage than anything else. You'll tell me that AVENGERS series is genuinely espionage and not sci-fi or mystery...And you'll be damn right. But this story is intersting, well done, though far from being the closest to AVENGERS spirit or weird and bizarre stuff. A vengeance tale and tight enough to glue your attention to the screen.

Trivia
Gambit mentions joining the navy at 15. In real life, Gareth Hunt actually did drop out of school to join the merchant navy at that age.

Goofs
The East German guards in the opening sequence are using NATO issue FM 7.62 rifles rather than AK47s.

Quotes
John Steed: Are you sure this is just lemonade, Purdey?
Purdey: Well it looked a bit sad so I added a dash of vodka to cheer it up.
Mike Gambit: Oh well, in that case.
[takes a sip. It makes his voice horse for a few moments]
Mike Gambit: Not bad. You've invented a new drink. Vodka and fizzy lemonade.
Purdey: And bitters.
John Steed: To cheer up the vodka.
John Steed: No, to cheer up the gin.
Mike Gambit: Persuade aid?
Purdey: Sounds a bit medical.
John Steed: A purdka!
Mike Gambit: Right, yes. Have a purdka.
