Death Dispatch
20 March 2019
The Avengers now comes across as an International action adventure series. There is plenty of stock location footage as the action shifts from Jamaica to Columbia, Peru and Chile.

There are shades of James Bond about this adventure, particularly Dr No.

Honor Blackman joins as Cathy Gale, an attractive widow who gives the show some glamour. We even see just with her bra on in one shot.

Steed has been ordered to find out why a courier was killed in Jamaica. He was tasked to take the diplomatic pouch from Washington to Santiago but the contents of the pouch were not stolen.

Steed is joined by Cathy Gale who has flown over to assist him. They come across a group of plotters who plan to stage a coup in Chile.

There is nice interplay between Steed and Gale as well as Steed and the amiable foreign office diplomat Travers played by Gerald Harper.
