Interesting McGee Facts
- Imogen Hassell, who plays Nadja in this
episode, also appeared in episodes of "The
Protectors", "Scales
of Justice" and "The
Avengers" (as does Henry McGee, although not the
same episodes). She also appeared in a Carry On Film
(Loving). Tragically, she died of a drug overdose in
Wimbledon 1980 aged 38.

Henry plays "Reeves" in this
episode of the, long running, TV Simon Templer series.
At a railway station, Simon Templar (Roger Moore) sees a Nun in
High-Heels injecting Diane (Fiona Lewis) with some kind of sleeping drug.
Simon rescues Diane to discover that she is on her way to visiting her brother,
Mike Gregory (William Gaunt) who is a top RAF pilot. Inadvertently, Simon has uncovered a plot,
by Middle Eastern arms dealers to steal
a new VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft,
named Osprey. They succeed and a high speed chase across Europe ensues,
climaxing in Simon stealing the aircraft back.... sounds familiar to Clint
Eastwood fans I suspect.
Screen Play by Alfred Shaughnessy and Anthony Squire.
Direction by Roy Baker
