This episode was a remake of an earlier Brian Clemens-scripted episode titled "Dressed to Kill" with Honor Blackman as Cathy Gale. A stranded railroad car on and abandoned spur at an abandoned station in a long-dead ghost town served as the device instead of the plane and the island.
Steed is invited to a party on an aeroplane with six other people who include a matador, a cowboy and a circus strong man. As the pilotless , remote-controlled craft takes off, a voice announces that they are bound for a desert island where one of them will be revealed as a super-killer. Mrs. Peel has to work out how to get to her partner as the bodies start to pile up.
Indeed Donald Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling stars in this episode are famous actors, Am I right that the bald man is also the one in the old black and white Cybernaut episode,
I thought I recognised him under the mask in the first segment; Brian Blessed was doing Z Cars at this time at the BBC. With his physique, he looks more qualified to be playing the strongman than the guy in the Tarzan kit and lemon longjohns, who looks a little like the Green Giant from, what was it, the Birdseye commercials.

Brian Blessed is king. I wish there was more episodes of the two avengers on their own.

It's nice for a change to see Brian Blessed in a role where he doesn't shout !
And he's without a beard too.
