After a fairly average start to Series four I'd say it ended in some style, following on from the menacing 'A Killer in every corner' comes the intriguing, slick and very imaginative 'Where the action is.' I wouldn't necessarily say this episode comes under the heading of thriller, but it's 70 minutes of tantalising, claustrophobic and tense drama, you definitely feel a sense of foreboding and injustice for the central character Eddie. As an episode it could have been written for one of several shows, for me it very much had a Man from Uncle vibe about it, concealed weapons, sinister bodyguards, maniacal, if eccentric villain.
Edd Byrnes is excellent as Eddy, James Berwick is certainly very memorable as Daddy, but without a shadow of a doubt the episode is stolen by the presence of Ingrid Pitt, who is just magical, she's beautiful, sinister, alluring, calculating, and just a huge presence. No wonder she's worshipped worldwide, not just as the Queen of Horror.
The story is so clever, the writing is brilliant, Brian Clemens at his very best.
Series Four signs off in style with this surprise package, I'll admit when it started, and I got the jist of the story I switched off, as it's not really my idea of a tense thriller, big mistake, this is a great episode. 9/10
