Apparently I'm an outlier. I found this to be one of the poorest episodes of the entire series. There was no mystery whatsoever as to who the bad guy was. The action sequences were mediocre to say the least. The plot was slapdash to the point of opacity. And Drake, usually professional to a fault, loses himself to anger in the face of the buffoonish villain (crushing a whisky tumbler was both amateurish and silly). Also, can someone explain how all that sophisticated video equipment got smuggled into that massive wine cask unnoticed?
I'm sorry to differ with you sir, but this won't do at all.

This is one of the more entertaining episodes of "Secret Agent" in terms of character detail and dialog. It's rare that we get a glimpse of what married spies must endure to keep their marriages together. Also why Drake is such a good spy -- he never got married.
The main flaw is the early reveal, which shouldn't come as a huge surprise to anyone who's seen more than a few DM episodes. After that, it's just a question of time until the final confrontation. I will credit the writers for the rather unexpected final act, improbable as it may be.
