Quotes
Sir Henry: [Adamant has been presented with several photographs featuring himself] Do you remember that year and where the photographs were taken?
Adam Adamant: Yes, quite clearly. St. Petersburg, the summer of 1901.
Sir George: [laughs] You can't be that certain. I mean, it's sixty years ago!
Adam Adamant: The year before last, sir, is very clear in my mind.

Black magic

This has everything. From the first scene I knew this was going to develop into something special and it didn't disappoint. The sound and in some cases picture quality are fairly poor on my DVD, which is a great shame – I couldn't tell what The Face was actually saying, and as I don't speak Dutch the subtitles on my disc didn't help. I'm not sure why such an easy and obviously pantomime villain should be so effective; The Face is such a lazy excuse for a diabolic mastermind really but he's genuinely creepy. Shame we never get to find out what's under the mask or his raison d'etre.

This story had me on the edge of my seat. Thoroughly enjoyable, tragic, tense – the perfect way to spend a nostalgic 50 minutes. This has to be one of the best. 10/10, despite the poor quality – and a true rival to the Avengers magic.
