It's one of my favorite episodes because of the storyline and dialog. When Danny was mistaken for a criminal mastermind, he had to think fast to stay alive and fool the bad guys into thinking that he really was the right man while trying to get away and let Brett know that he was in trouble. It was so funny when Danny asked one of the heavies what would happen to him if he told them he wasn't Mr. Lomax, and the man answered that then they'd have to kill him, and Danny's reply was: "I am definately Mr. Lomax, no doubt about it." Another funny scene was at the discoteque where Danny was trying to get Brett's attention. Later on, Brett realised that something was wrong and paid a visit to his old friend Farmer to get some inside info. Then he posed as a pilot to infiltrate the organization and help rescue Danny. When Brett came into the house where they were holding Danny and said: "The name is Roberts", I couldn't help but add: "Bond." It's hard not to think of Roger as Bond or The Saint when he gets all serious and introduces himself in the manner similar to his two most famous characters.
I also enjoyed the episode's ending.

This one was so funny! I loved it when Danny, posing as high ranking officer, was speaking to the military at the gatehouse. He yelled at them "Identity" and they immediately made to get their own from their uniforms, Danny says "Not yours ..... mine!"

The actress was the same one who was in "Little Girl Lost" in "The Saint" and I recognised the heavy in charge of the robbery too. Wasn't he in "The Saint" story "The Art Collectors?"

The scene in the discotheque when the set of twins Brett had arranged for his and Danny's date left, after waiting and waiting to meet up with Danny. Brett says "The two bookends have gone."

What on earth was Brett's dancing moves like in the discotheque?

And all I could think of was "good riddence." Brett and Danny could do much better, those twins were a boring twosome  :smt062

Roger is so glamorous and elegant when he does ballroom dancing, like in several of his movies. But his moves are strange and jerky when he does the "anything goes" discotheque kind of dancing. Where was Len Goodman when RM needed his dancing instructions so badly  :smt037 ?
