I suspect this episode was made for three reasons:

1) To take the piss out of Batman.

2) To highlight Diana Rigg's attractiveness through several close-ups.

3) To provide numerous scenes of the main characters flirting and being cozy together.

That's it. Those are the reasons.

Yep!!

"It just went with a wallop."

"Marvelous."

I don't think anyone expected that cork to launch quite so far. I also think Diana Rigg was checking to make sure it didn't take out a light.

My French is non-existent, but I think this is what Steed and Emma were having for their late supper:

Champagne

A dozen Whitstable oysters

La tortue claire (turtle soup)

Le saumon d'écosse (Scottish salmon)*

1959 Chablis

le suprême de volaille à la Kiev (Chicken Kiev)

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1929

crepe surprise

peeled walnuts

Tawny Port

Btw, oysters, turtle soup, salmon and walnuts are all considered to be aphrodisiacs. Coincidence?

* Super unsure about this one. I really couldn't make that one out and guessing partially on the fact that salmon and Chablis pair well. If you parle, please feel free to correct or clarify any of the above.

I totally believe her line "in went off with a wallop" and her laugh were totally off the cuff improvised. Her laugh was so adorable too.

Daily Mail November 25, 1965 (I think)

Announcing the sale of the show to the US market.

Just look at Macnee here...grinning like a possum eating a sweet potato!

What is happening in that subhead? "Collecting the champagne: Steed and friend." And friend? You know who she is.

I am also deeply intrigued by the functionality and convenience of the Electrolux 90 home cleaner.

They both look a bit tipsy to me...🥴🥂🍾

Pretty sure these were taken on the set of "Death at Bargain Prices." Diana Rigg is yucking it up with and Joe "Dazzler" Cornelius, a professional wrestler, actor, and stunt performer. Cornelius worked on The Avengers with fight stunt arranger Ray Austin to make the fights look good. His brother Billy Cornelius was also a stuntman that worked on Avengers episodes "Dial a Deadly Number", "Small Game for Big Hunters" and "From Venus With Love."

The picture above must have been taken after numerous avenues were indicated.

This looks like a campaign button.

But apparantly it's a collectible disc card from the 2005 Argentine card collection “El Álbum de los Recuerdos: Los Años 60’s y 70’s” (The Memories Album: The Sixties & Seventies).

Votaría por él.
