The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery

Another old TV series I’m (re)watching is “The Avengers”. I skipped season 1 since almost all episodes have been lost, and headed into season 2. Episode 7 has Steed being tortured by Nazi dentists! Almost 15 years before Marathon Man! Amazing.

"The Mauritius Penny" has a pretty cool plot: a stamp collector gets murdered because he sees an ultra-rare stamp on a delivery list, gets excited and starts talking about it... only that stamp was just a code-name for a clandestine delivery of weapons for an underground neo-nazi group! Simply picking the "wrong" code-name triggers a series of events that brings the group to the attention of our heroes, Steed and Gale!
Steed gets tortured by neo-Nazi dentist women! He goes undercover as one of the Nazi group's members from another chapter, but they see through his ruse when his teeth don't match the records! As the woman proceeds to threaten Steed, she lists all the different cavities that Steed has and that the other guy didn't :D
The neo-Nazi group having a meeting to organize the take-over of Britain.
Steed and Gale are looking at some stamps or something.
