On the hunt for The Avenger. Ee-urp!

Several ruthless businessmen are killed, the one thing they all have in common, is that they all appear to have been killed by a large bird of prey.

For me, this is the first time that an episode has felt entirely like a cartoon strip, there have been snippets, bit this began, and ended in that fashion. Indeed we were even treated to a Batman homage.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, it's bags of fun, and once again under all of the smoke and mirrors, is a really good storyline, sure the boots are a futuristic idea, but they played their part in the episode.

That's one of the show's best ever opening sequences, it really worked well, I loved the horror vibe.

Jack MacGowran is an absolute joy as Professor Poole, he has to be one of my favourite characters from the show so far, wonderfully zany, outrageously bonkers.

I liked this, a lot, 8/10.
