Re: John Steed-style 'pose as feckless incompetent'

I kind of parse the infiltration thing as 'rich-but-dim' as hem hem SATIRE, I think he always enters them from a strong position (through his special agent background) and it's always positioned as faux-naivetie rather than fecklessness, but now we may be getting into semantics (hurrah)!

I was just thinking about Adam Adamant the other day - the boxset is mega cheap on Amazons and I am thinking of ordering it, just for the Blackpool episode alone. "The richest mile in England!"!
