7cb1d79195 A succession of British agents have been killed in different ways but each one has been carefully wrapped in polythene before being dumped in a graveyard. With Miss King on her holidays Steed is joined by Lady Diana Forbes- Blakeney to investigate a sinister factory which houses the deadly computer REMAK - Remote Electro- Matic Agent Killer, which must be destroyed.
Tara goes off on holiday early on in this Tony Williamson-penned story, and does not reappear until the end, when the mission is over. Taking her place is the lovely Jennifer Croxton ( later to co-star with future 'Avengers' babe Joanna Lumley in the sitcom 'Its Awfully Bad For Your Eyes Darling' )'Lady Diana Forbes-Blakeney'. Croxton looks a lot like Diana Rigg. In his book on 'The Avengers', Dave Rogers wonders whether Lady Di might have been a try-out for a new leading lady just in case the show was recommissioned without Linda. As it turned out, it was not. She has her fans, but I am not one of them. She is a graduate of the Karen Gillan school of acting, and has little rapport with Macnee, though admittedly she handles the fights well.<br/><br/>British agents are turning up dead, wrapped in polythene, and - this is the really perplexing part - having been first shot, stabbed, garroted, drowned etc. Yet their clothes are intact! What's going on? Mother thinks there is a connection to a mysterious foreign agent known only'Remak'. <br/><br/>There is not really much of a plot here. One agent dies, another investigates, he in turn dies, another goes after him and dies, and so on, a bit like a game of 'Follow My Leader'. Among the victims is 'Calvin' ( Anthony Valentine, on the cusp of stardom in 'Callan' and 'Colditz' ). Harry Towb has a good rolea traitorous British agent called 'Paxton' who keeps turning up on a deserted film set with arrows/knives sticking out his chest and back! His job is to acta Judas Goat and send the agents to their doom. Comedy actor Richard Wattis plays para-medic 'Clarke', and the equally camp Michael Ward is 'Freddie', proprietor of a ribbon shop! <br/><br/>The centre of the mysterious goings-on is an apparently deserted factory. The only activities on display are the occasional helicopter taking off and a bus leaving the premises. At its heart is R.E.M.A.K. - a computer programmed to kill. Anyone unlucky to find himself inside the place will be forced to pass through a series of garishly coloured rooms ( a fact that would have been lost on British viewers watching in black and white ), each equipped with a death device. R.E.M.A.K.'s human associates are 'Brinstead' ( William Franklyn ) and 'Merridon' ( Grant Taylor ), who talk about the machinethough it were a real person.<br/><br/>This was Cliff Owen's only episode. He directed two of the three Morecambe & Wise movies ( including the best one - 'That Riviera Touch' ) and the cheeky ( in more ways than one ) Dick Emery comedy 'Ooh You Are Awful'. He keeps 'Killer' slick and entertaining, and one wishes he had done more.<br/><br/>The climax in the factory -Steed alone tackles the computer - is wonderful. Had Tara not gone off with her bucket and spade, this would have been a classic. The 'all-powerful computer' idea would be reused in the 'New Avengers' adventure 'Complex'.
"Killer" begins with Linda Thorson's Tara King going off on vacation, leaving Steed to work on his latest assignment with Lady Diana Forbes-Blakeney (Jennifer Croxton), who bears a slight resemblance to Emma Peel, but is only a faint echo of the absent Tara. Mother's agent task force (a rather dim lot, actually) is being systematically killed off one by one, with each corpse tidied up, dry cleaned, and left to be found in a graveyard (where else?). Alas, it's all too clear what's going on, and the dubious charms of Croxton's attractive but overrated Forbes do not make for another Tara, or Emma, or Cathy Gale. The climactic showdown also fails to lift this episode above average. Some series veterans appearing for a final time include William Franklyn ("Silent Dust"), John Bailey ("A Change of Bait," "Killer Whale," "Dial a Deadly Number"), James Bree ("Immortal Clay"), Anthony Valentine ("The Bird Who Knew Too Much"), and Jonathan Elsom ("The See-Through Man").
