The very first thing that I have to say is a correction to the blurb about this Episode, Jeff is not acting as a bodyguard to Miss London, but to the Russian contestant Miss Moscow.
It's Jean Hopkirk who accompanies Miss London, Anne Soames to the National Records Office.
This is an episode like many others very much of its time and period, but this one in particular, as it's about a Beauty Show/Pageant these were very much part of the, British indeed world scene or at least western part of it. These events have become something of an anathema in more recent times, public opinion having changed drastically, with the consideration of it being demeaning to women.
A particular bete noire of mine regarding this episode is the royal family, as a republican socialist I am totally opposed to anything remotely related to them.
