Hounded Steele

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 27 May 2019]

Remington Steele discovers that Mildred is not at her desk early in the morning.

Mildred has been on the pursuit of a dog who has been dognapped. She in turn is being chased by a mysterious man who has killed an Interpol agent.

The dog belongs to an international jewel thief. He uses the dog to bypass security systems.

J D Cannon appeared as a villain in an episode in the first season. He plays Masters the owner of the dog and forced into a jewel heist but it could be a trap.

Tom Baker plays the mysterious Mr John Smith who stays at room number 4 in a hotel.

Pierce Brosnan does an impression of notable 1980s British dog trainer, Barbara Woodhouse.

A fun episode with some thrills and comedy. It has a more Anglocentric edge to it.

Gone to the dog's. Get it?

Why is everyone after a stolen pooch? And why do they want the dog rather than its genuine-diamond collar?

This episode showcases Doris Roberts as Mildred Krebbs. It also has a brief appearance by Nita Talbot (the crazy Russian spy from "Hogan's Heroes," here rather more low-key). Actor J. D. Cannon is back playing the dog's owner, who has secrets of his own.

It also answers questions like, what does an Agency working on a shoestring do when the Secretery plays hooky?

Remington's shady past proves useful. And Laura demonstrates again how good she looks in men's hats. And the 1970s Doctor Who, Tom Baker, is as bug-eyed and over the top as expected (catch his Rasputin in "Nicholas and Alexandra," Columbia, 1971, starring about every notable British film actor of the day).
