When Nemesis learns of Von Splitz's plan, Craig, Richard and Sharron are sent to investigate. They track down the bomber's original pilot, who tells them the whereabouts of the device; but the three Champions arrive too late - Von Splitz and his men have found the bomb - and have armed it, planning to use the weapon to start World War III... <BR><BR> Stuart Damon (<B>Craig Stirling</B>), Alexandra Bastedo (<B>Sharron Macready</B>), William Gaunt (<B>Richard Barret</B>), Anthony Nicholls (<B>Tremayne</B>), David Bauer (<B>Opening Voice-overs</B>)*, Alan MacNaughtan (<B>Von Splitz</B>), Wolf Frees (<B>Doctor Neimann</B>), Derek Newark (<B>Kruger</B>), Basil Henson (<B>Wolf Eisen</B>), Morris Perry (<B>Schultz</B>), Hannah Gordon (<B>Helden</B>), Michael Lees (<B>Tom Brooks</B>)<BR>*Uncredited <BR><BR><B>Directed by John Gilling <BR><BR>Produced by Monty Berman</B> <BR><BR><B>TX:</B> <FONT COLOR="#99CCFF" SIZE="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans"> <BR>UK (ATV Midlands):<BR> 16th April, 1969 @ 8.00 pm - 9.00 pm <BR><BR><B>Notes:</B> <BR>*Featuring Craig Stirling, Sharron Macready, Richard Barrett and Tremayne <BR><BR>*The intro-sequence: Richard is digging his Land Rover out of the snow when he spots some children playing with an unexploded mortar shell.
