2️⃣ George is kidnapped, so she’s off-screen for the middle section. And Anne stays home for the whole adventure. Consequently it falls to Dick and Julian to carry the action, together with a new character called Jo (played by #JulieDavis, who is excellent).

3️⃣ The villains are a bit more cartoonish than normal, but the location filming is great and final 10/15 minutes (again directed with aplomb by #SidneyHayers) are exciting.
