A Room in the Basement
30 June 2020
M9 agent Keith Turnbull (John Breslin) and his wife Susan (Jane Merrow) arrive in Switzerland, but Turnbull is soon kidnapped by Romanian agents, who take him to their embassy. A desperate Susan contacts their old friend Drake, who devises a plan to get Turnbull out.

A Room in the Basement is a fast-paced, action-oriented episode. It's intresting that the Russians and the Chinese aren't the villains this time round, it's the Romanians(!). There's some quite nifty ideas, and there's some good stunt work.

Jane Merrow's performance here is much more restrained then her previous turn in A Date with Doris. There's plenty of recognizable actors in the cast, such as Michael Gwynn, William Lucas, Kate O'Mara and Jack May.
