  • Amusing at times, but not one of the best

    I won't go into detail or spoilers, but suffice it to say that Yootha Joyce's role as Milanov makes this episode feel as if it elements were lifted out of the 1963 Bond outing, From Russia With Love.

    No, I take that back. Milanov is an obvious copy of Rosa Klebb. It is debatable whether this detracts from the plot - or not - but it does offer a very amusing scene at the Russian banquet, where Moore's incomparable blend of swave comedy is played to perfection.

    The plot twist at the end is interesting, but given the poor pacing (and slightly claustrophobic framing) of the episode, you may or may not feel cheated out of a more satisfactory conclusion.

    Nevertheless, an enjoyable entry to the series.moreless
