A pretty interesting episode - lots of tension in the 'courtroom' scenes especially as the room seems very confined. I noticed the large pictures on the walls - a UFO in the forest and Moonbase. Pity we didn't get to see a closer look at them.
The studio scenes were also interesting, a sort of precursor to Mindbender - the dual worlds of SHADO and the Studio together in one place.
One aspect that really bugged me in this episode, was Straker's hair. It was wrong for some reason - the wrong style, the wrong shape. I wonder if this was his own hair, dyed. I recall Bishop talking about the wigs when UFO started on tv, and he said that Sylvia had these long wigs and he thought they were dreadful - shapeless and far too long and she started cutting at one of them and he saw the final shape and realised it was going to be fine. Somehow that doesn't tally up with later reports that he started filming by having to have his hair dyed.
The next episode to be filmed was Close Up, followed by Confetti Check A-O.K. in which we DO see Bishop's own hair, dyed blond. Perhaps these two episodes were also his own hair?
Anyway, an interesting episode with Jackson making a great appearance and some background shots of the studio buildings.
The green dress worn by Miss Grant was from Doppelganger.
