Nigel Davenport: Robertson

Quotes 

• Emma Peel : I'm Mrs. Emma Peel, from Willis and Ferguson's. Auctioneers, valuers, specialists in probate.

  Major Robertson : Oh yes, do come in. I was told to expect you.

  [they shake hands] 

  Major Robertson : Eh, forgive me, frankly, I was expecting a dusty old man leaning heavily on a gnarled stick.

  Emma Peel : I hope you're not disappointed?

  Major Robertson : On the contrary.

• John Steed : Had you known General Groves long?

  Major Robertson : Since I was a cadet at Sandhurst. I've served under every general you've heard of, and a few you haven't. Not one was his equal.

  John Steed : You might be biased...

  Major Robertson : Of course I'm biased. He had the humanity of Caesar... tenacity of Wellington... and the brilliance of Napoleon.

  John Steed : Good company.

  Major Robertson : The best.
