To be completely honest, To Catch A Spy has always struck me as a pretty standard-issue episode of The Secret Service. Not outstanding, not poor, just okay. I can sense that there was great ambition behind some of the ideas it brought forward, but for one reason or another they weren’t delivered to the screen with much flare. The action-packed opening is vastly more interesting than the somewhat aimless and unsatisfying climax. For this week’s review, Pat Dunlop’s original script for the episode really will prove to be an invaluable asset towards unpacking how the episode was supposed to turn out, compared with what we actually got.
