Dead on Course
6 March 2019
A plane bound for Canada crashes in a remote area of Ireland, near a convent.

Steed rushes down as there was a similar crash few months earlier in the vicinity.

Suspicions are aroused because despite the dead bodies, the co-pilot is missing and the pilot was strangled. The air hostess is barely arrive and is taken to the convent where she is later murdered.

To make matters complicated the plane was carrying a lot of money that has disappeared.

There is some dodgy goings on at the convent, all the nuns apart from the Mother Superior has taken a vow of silence. Steed spends time in a pub to get some local knowledge, he gets a lot of blarney from a pub worker.

The whole episode was filmed in the studio. There was a lot of chatter and not much tension. I thought there would be more drama after the Mother Superior told Dr King to meet Steed outside the convent and then the air hostess dies. It was all rather nonchalant, even half baked and dull.
