7cb1d79195 The Nutshell is the name of a secure underground bunker, to be used by the government in the event of a nuclear war and Steed and Mrs. Gale are shown around it. When military secrets start to be leaked the finger of suspicion points to Steeda traitor and it is down to Mrs. Gale to clear her colleague's name.
"The Nutshell" is set in a secret underground facility intendedshelter from World War 3, where a beautiful girl (Edina Ronay, previously seen in "The Removal Men") manages to sneak in and photograph a file containing all the names of Britain's double agents. Security chief Mike Venner (Charles Tingwell, "Return of the Cybernauts") later finds the girl's dead body, along with a photo of her with John Steed, who is subsequently arrested for treason, the missing microfilm nowhere to be found. A terrific premise marred only by dialogue often drowned out by incessantly noisy machinery. This season's larger budget is apparent in the elaborate corridor set for the bunker, and we get our first look at Steed's new flat, which would be replaced next season. An excellent cast includes John Cater, later seen in "Death at Bargain Prices" and "The Living Dead," and lovely Patricia Haines, later seen in "The Master Minds" and "Who's Who???" (in which she became the only actress other than Diana Rigg to portray Mrs. Emma Peel).
The headquarters of John Steed's agency is an impenetrable fortress designed to keep The British Empire's secrets safe,wellits government in the event of an emergency, suchWWIII. Let me correct that: until the beginning shot, it was an "impenetrable" fortress. Now, everyone can get to it, knows about it, and knows one of its most precious secrets: the identities of every British spy undercover.<br/><br/>After the breach, the agency head, Disco, calls Dr. Cathy Gale (?) to report to the compound. It was the first time she had ever received a call from Steed's higher ups, and the first time she had been invited to their lair. Disco needs an outsider and a field agent to give a fresh view of the situation; so, Dr. Gale and Steed are recruited to lead the investigation. The agency needs those documents back pronto. They guest-timate that if they don't get that info back within 16 hours time, their secret agents will begooddead.<br/><br/>A dense spy episode, The Nutshell finally gives a behind the scenes look into Steed's organization. But more importantly, it shows a more realistic look inside a spy agency than could even be accomplished today. Long before it was done in James Bond, this is the first time that a spy agency was shown to use electronic voice recognition, and finger print analysis for entry into a secure site. And can anyone think of a time previously that a "friendly" black site was ever shown to western audiences? Skipping "24", how many times has it been shown presently? In fact, the Producers of the James Bond film,Dr. No, had to turn the camera away in order to get the "softening" up sequence and its introduction of torture past the censors. Here there are entire torture sequences that are put up front and center for viewers. Electrocution, brainwashing, sleep deprivation and starvation; hyper-realism, thy name is The Avengers. If you agree or disagree with these methods isn't the point; the fact that they acknowledge a Western government was using these means is years ahead of its time.<br/><br/>With the exception of the ending, this story got strongerit went. We start off with a perfect heist of sensitive documents. Then we continue on with double spies, secret landing fields, agents cracking under too much work, etc. Although it's pretty hard not to know which side Steed and Gale are on, it is still a good sign of great writing that there were many signs why we couldn't even trust them.<br/><br/>Also, Phillip Harrison sucked me in with his design of the still unnamed agency fortress. The floor where the cat burglar dodges roaming cameras, and works a microfiche station, seemed ultra ahead of its time. But there were also the bland stations suchthe photograph room that gave an air of realism to the set.<br/><br/>I give this a 9.0.
