646f9e108c The Avengers are tasked to investigate the Lakin brothers, two elderly lawyers with an amazing success record, having recently had an obvious traitor acquitted. In order to find out the secret of their success, Steed takes advice from them on how to murder Mrs. Gale and is then defended by them following her 'death'.
"Brief for Murder" was the first episode produced out of the nine completed in time for the third season's broadcast debut on September 29 1963 (shot just three weeks after "Killer Whale"). It was also the long awaited return to the fold for writer Brian Clemens, who scripted "Brought to Book" and "One for the Mortuary," but was totally absent during the second year. Ronald Henry Wescott (Alec Ross, "Super Secret Cypher Snatch") is acquitted of treason because of the expertise of his elderly solicitors, Jasper Lakin (John Laurie, previously seen in "Death of a Great Dane") and his brother Miles (Harold Scott). The main reason behind the verdict was the prosecution's inability to confirm the identity of Jonno, an associate of Wescott's, which turns out to be Steed. Of course, the upright Cathy Gale is on to them, and there is a bitter confrontation in a pub, whereupon Steed decides to call on the Lakin brothers to engage their services on his behalfhe schemes to murder Mrs. Gale. Perhaps the best bit during Steed's trial is the moment when he is asked to put on the bowler hat he left behind at the shooting of Mrs. Gale, much too large for his cranium. Clemens shows the way with a script brimming with intrigue and subtle humor, and Honor Blackman shows off her shapely legs in a one piece leotard during a yoga class (Steed even describes hera lively looking "corpus," and "very delecti"). Fred Ferris returnsan Inspector (the same role he played in "Bullseye"), Anthony Baird returns from "Death of a Great Dane," and the excellent Helen Lindsay returns from "Nightmare," a lost first season entry.
Series Three of 'The Avengers' gets underway at a treason trial at the Old Bailey; Cathy is convinced that the accused is guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt but a well briefed defence barrister gets the accused acquitted. She is rather surprised afterwards when she sees the man celebrating his freedom with Steed; and referring to him'Johnno' the nickname of the mysterious foreign agent the man had allegedly been working with. Somewhat outraged she confronts Steed and he threatens her. The next day Steed goes to see the Lakin Brothers, the two defence solicitors who had helped his friend go free. He has a strange request… he wants them to get him off a murder charge, a murder he has yet to commit; the murder of Cathy Gale!<br/><br/>This was a fine opening to the third series; the story is intriguing from the start. While I'm sure nobody will believe that Steed is really a traitor it is far from obvious where the story will be going; I certainly assumed he was working to unmask who was really behind the traitor rather than trying to expose a couple of old solicitors… at least till he approached them for help getting away with murder. The way the 'murder' is set up is enjoyable to watch and once he has 'killed' Cathy it was fun to see how Steed was going to get away with it. The cast does a fine job; it was fun watching Patrick Macnee play a 'bad' Steed and John Laurie and Harold Scott were impressiveJasper and Miles Lakin. Overall this was a high quality episode which featured a solid central story with just the right amount of humour.
