An intriguing episode, which harks back to the cold War spy films of the 60s - Le Carre and Smiley and Palmer and all that.
Unfortunately, although the whole thing becomes clear at the end, the viewer spends most of the show wondering what the hell is going on, which is not great in terms of engagement.
An interesting scene takes place toward the start of the programme, where the taxi drops off the American couple in Manchester Square - in full view of the stairwell in the Old EMI building where The Beatles posed for their photo for the cover of the Please Please Me album.
