But when a quantity of the gas is subsequently stolen by the criminal Brady, he uses it to render the whole of London unconscious. Awakening on a particularly quiet Sunday, Purdey, Steed and Gambit search for one another, and encounter Brady s men, who have set about looting the city. Eventually Steed and Gambit meet up, and from the top of the Post Office Tower spot the looters' departure point; they hijack their escape helicopter - which just so happens to be piloted by Purdey. But the three of them are so exhausted, that they fall fast asleep at their heroes' welcome. <BR><BR>Patrick Macnee (<B>John Steed</B>), Gareth Hunt (<B>Mike Gambit</B>), Joanna Lumley (<B>Purdey</B>), Keith Buckley (<B>Brady</B>), Arthur Dignam (<B>Dr, Graham</B>), Mark Jones (<B>Chuck</B>), Prentis Hancock (<B>Bart</B>), Sara Kestelman (<B>Tina</B>), Gavin Campbell, (<B>Fred</B>), Dave Schofield (<B>Ben</B>), George Sweeney (<B>Phil</B>), Peter Godfrey (<B>Pilot</B>), Leo Dolan (<B>Bill</B>), Jason White, Tony McHale (<B>Policemen</B>), Peter Richardson (<B>Man in car</B>)*, Denise Reynolds (<B>Woman in car</B>)* <BR>Unbilled <BR><BR><B>Directed by Graeme Clifford</B> <BR><B>Produced by Albert Fennell and Brian Clemens</B> <BR><BR><B>TX:</B> <FONT COLOR="#99CCFF" SIZE="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans"> <BR>LWT - 14th January 1977 <BR><BR><B>Notes:</B> <BR>*Featuring John Steed, Mike Gambit and Purdey <BR> <BR> <BR> </BODY> </HTML>
