The Avengers: Death Dispatch (1962)
Season 2, Episode 13
5/10
A below average episode.

Steed and Cathy investigate the strange death of a courier, who was transporting documents from Jamaica to South America.

There are some decent moments, I liked the telephone booth scene for example, but overall, I thought this was a fairly poor episode.

I'm not sure I can answer how, or why, but it feels very raw, something about the production feels a little clunky, a little out of sorts.

Now, I've read comments about this feeling like a James Bond plot, not sure I can see that, it's just too dull, for me it felt more like an episode of The Champions, complete with Banana Republic.

The singing wasn't exactly pleasant, and Cathy's turn as a South American cleaner just didn't seem to sit right.

5/10.
