Series 2, Episode 20 - Thunderfinger Pt 1
Leonard Swindley is involved in a story of spies, intrigue and danger. Will he find out who the mysterious Mr. Neptune is or will the beautiful Miss Solare outwit him?
Notes
The two-part Thunderfinger episodes unashamedly parodied the James Bond films, and even dispensed with the normal theme tune in favour of the Bond theme.
