7cb1d79195 Steed has been having bad dreams involving Christmas trees and a man dressed as Santa Claus. At a party given by publisher and Dickens fan Brandon Storey, two telepathic spies attempt to read Steed's mind and make sense of the dream. However, the dream is echoed exactly by the events of the party, enabling Steed to spot the villains in advance and identify the dangerous Santa.
I loved this episode when I saw it way back on its first US television run, and I love it just as much now.<br/><br/>I don&#39;t even care that it breaks Avengers &quot;conventions&quot;, with its ESP and telepathy-based plot. Steed and Mrs. Peel are an absolute delight, and the Dickens stuff is great fun. Plus the country house is spectacular.<br/><br/>It&#39;s just such a joy to watch these two pros skate elegantly across acres of double-entendres, obviously enjoying themselves as much as we are. And Emma reverses when she waltzes! Who knew? And Steed wanted socks for Christmas, just like Dumbledore…<br/><br/>Anyway, possibly my single favorite Avengers ep ever. Don&#39;t miss it.
A nice Christmas romp for Steed and Emma, with an in-joke about Cathy Gale to (kinky) boot. However, the episode isn&#39;t quite from the top drawer. The setting is somewhat dull, and the support cast also. The confinement of the action to the single location is constraining. The Dickensian theme is somewhat bolted on and extraneous to the action. And the sinister masked Santa appears only in Steed&#39;s dream until his appearance in the final shoot-out, and so no tension or interest has been raised about his real identity (and so no thrill of excitement when he or she is finally unmasked).<br/><br/>But the real sin of the episode is to break the implicit rule of the show that, though the action is highly improbable not to say absurd, the laws of physics remain unbroken. There must be a mundane explanation for the mystery, to keep us out of the twilight zone. But here, actual telepathy and ESP are used to interfere with Steed&#39;s mind, and the show has just crossed the line into the supernatural.
