646f9e108c Young Highland Guardsman Corporal Craig is found shot, his corpse containing bullets from three separate guns. He has been shot by a firing squad, for treason, and when Steed re-enlists in the Army under his old rank of Major, he could very well end up the same way, thanks to a bizarre plot by latter day Jacobites, whose plan is to overthrow the monarchy and crown a descendant of the Stuart dynasty, a descendant who just happens to be Mrs. Gale!
As this episode opens a corporal in the Highland Guards is shot by a firing squad. His death is reportedan accident while cleaning his weapon… this is soon disprovedhe had three bullets in him from three different rifles! Steed wants to find out what really happened and why so he goes undercover claiming to be writing a book on the regiment's history while Mrs Gale enlists in a civil defence programme; she has also been given a good Highland lineage to make her fit in with the regiment's officers. As they investigate they uncover a plot by Brigadier General Sir Ian Stuart-Bollinger who believes that his adopted son is a direct descendant of Bonnie Prince Charlie and is planning a coup to put him on the throne.<br/><br/>This is a pretty decent episode with an enjoyably silly plot. Duncan Macrae's performancethe slightly bonkers Brig Stuart-Bollinger is a lot of fun; he plays the role dead straight which is just what he is required. John Thaw also impressesCaptain Trench, an obvious wrongun, however the stand out performance comes from Roy KinnearPrivate Jessop, a soldier who's willingness to take a bribe saves Steed more than once. On the down side things get a bit silly when Mrs Gale's forged lineage suggests that she also has a claim to the Scottish crown in the eyes of Stuart-Bollinger. Overall a solid episode.
"Esprit De Corps" is a rare dud, beginning well with an execution by firing squad, but quickly losing steama military coup seeks to capture the throne of Scotland, which would make Cathy Gale the new Queen (it'sludicrousit sounds). As he always does, Roy Kinnear steals every scenePrivate Jessop, who looks after Steed's safety throughout, provided he is well compensated (he would return in "The Hour That Never Was," "The See-Through Man," and "Bizarre"). This was the fourth and last appearance for Douglas Robinson (last seen in "Man with Two Shadows"), and the third of four for Anthony Blackshaw ("The Sell-Out," "The Mauritius Penny," "Super Secret Cypher Snatch").
