Another two-pager from a holiday edition of TV whatever they called it over there. Probably the same one as "Assassin From Space". Once again the Doctor has that Charlie Manson look in the intro panel.
The Brigadier summons the Doctor and tells him that a small device has been stolen and is at a foreign embassy which precludes any official UNIT involvement in its retrieval. He wants our hero to get it back as Time Lords are not really official representatives of UNIT nor the human race, for that matter. Ere long the Doctor approaches the embassy at issue which appears to be the German one, by the look of the coat of arms on the lintel, dressed as an old lady. She, er, he has come armed with some mind control juice applied via a perfume mister.
The Doctor manages to snag the stolen device and makes an escape with the aid of the Brigadier who is disguised as a bobby.
The Third Doctor in drag looked quite funny but the Brigadier looked disturbingly like Joe Stalin in a panel or two. No Liz in this one. Confirmation of it being the German embassy comes when a guard yells "Halt!" Was there ever an East German embassy in London?
