For those who have been longing for the lovable characters and cool 60s style of the first series, this episode of Danger 5 should prove to be something of a treat: travelling into the past, the 1980s Danger 5 team unites with their 1960s selves to try and defeat original Hitler, who absorbs the essence of 1980s Holly Hitler to become invincible.
As with any self-respecting time-travel tale, this plot throws up the thorny issue of altering the future by meddling with the past, and ends with our 1980s versions of Danger 5 returning to their own time (despite their 1960s selves having been machine gunned to death) only to discover that Nazis now rule the world.
With the second series gradually getting better, and the welcome appearance of the classic Danger 5 team, this is a whole lot of irresistible, crazy fun. Silly highlights include Ilsa and Jackson scaling a fortress wall 1960s Batman style (whilst drinking cocktails), and Colonel Chestbridge brandishing his sit-down gun again!
