Steed has been having bad dreams involving Christmas trees and a man dressed as Santa Claus. At a party given by publisher and Dickens fan Brandon Storey, two telepathic spies attempt to read Steed's mind and make sense of the dream. However, the dream is echoed exactly by the events of the party, enabling Steed to spot the villains in advance and identify the dangerous Santa.
"Too Many Christmas Trees," a personal favorite of Patrick Macnee, was of course the 1965 Christmas broadcast for British audiences, while in the US, it ended up being shown the following August! One concession to the Americans is having the bearded one referred to as 'Santa Claus' rather than 'Father Christmas,' and it has to rank as a most unlikely holiday theme, a dark, brooding tale of terror more suited to the 80s than the 60s. Steed is suffering sleepless nights consumed by sinister images of Santa Claus, while the sympathetic Mrs. Peel tries to lighten the holiday festivities by inviting him to a Charles Dickens-themed house party at the estate of publisher Brandon Storey (Mervyn Johns, 1945's "Dead of Night"). Steed instantly realizes something's wrong as he knows exactly which turns to make on the way, and recognizes the house as one he saw in his dreams. Psychic warfare expertly conceived and executed, with such fine actors as Edwin Richfield, weasel-faced series veteran making his fourth appearance (the next would be "Dead Man's Treasure"), Alex Scott ("Square Root of Evil"), who returned for "Game," and Robert James, in the fourth of his five episodes (the next would be "Look (stop me if you've heard this one) But There Were These Two Fellers..."). Barry Warren, Hammer veteran of titles such as 1962's "The Kiss of the Vampire" and 1966's "Frankenstein Created Woman" (and who later appeared in "False Witness"), plays Jeremy Wade, an apparently close friend of Mrs. Peel, as he becomes the first character to call her 'Emma' (Steed only mentioned her first name when making introductions), and his reluctance to push through to the end results in one of the more horrifying images in the show's history. Mrs. Peel almost loses her good humor as she reads some of Steed's Christmas cards from a vast array of female admirers (Amy, Carlotta, Irma, 'Boofums?'), with special mention to one ("best wishes for the future") coming from 'Cathy': "Mrs. Gale, how nice of her to remember me! What can she be doing at Fort Knox?" The final scene presents our duo sharing some special time under the mistletoe, most appropriate. An episode that understandably tops the favorites list of many devoted fans.
A colleague of John Steed's called Freddie Marshall has come under suspicion for betraying government secrets. However, soon after, Marshall is found dead in a hotel room as the result of a brainstorm. This was caused by the same heady nightmares involving mistletoe, white cardboard Christmas trees and a psychotic Santa Claus that Steed is now having. Both Steed and Mrs Peel have been invited to a Christmas party hosted by the publisher and Dickens fanatic Brandon Storey (Mervyn Johns) and despite his good cheer and hospitality, it is here where the answer to Marshall's death and Steed's nightmares lie. The telepathic Martin Trasker (Alex Scott) and Jeremy Wade (Barry Warren) are using their gifts to milk state secrets from Steed's mind having failed with Marshall whom died because of the mental strain put on him. Also involved is the medium Janice Crane (Jeanette Sterke) whose midnight mind reading game finally makes Mrs Peel suspicious of the evil activities going on amongst the seasonal festivities. Meanwhile, Wade is murdered before he can defect and Steed now seems to be having a complete mental breakdown. However, despite Mrs Peel's concerns, Steed was suspicious of Trasker and Wade all along as the festive display in the house resembled the one in his dreams. The breakdown is merely a ruse to bring the ring into the open and a showdown in the hall of mirrors reveals Brandon Storey to be the Father Christmas of his nightmares and the leader of the spy ring. With the mind readers brought to book, Steed is glad that he will be able to sleep more soundly from now on.
Too Many Christmas Trees (first aired on Christmas Day 1965) is an effectively dark and chilly episode under the direction of veteran film maker Roy Baker. His credits include installments of practically every cult British TV show of this era as well as cinema classics such as A Night To Remember and The October Man. His handling of the dream sequences come off extremely well considering the cardboard sets and the limitations of TV special effects in 1965. The atmospheric black and white cinematography of Gerry Turpin and Laurie Johnson's eerie incidental music ensure that the proceedings are genuinely unsettling and suitably dark and menacing -much better than I expected them to be. Turn out the lights and you will be in the right mood to have your spine chilled. In addition, the set of Storey's country house (actually Haberdashers Aske's school in Elstree, Hertfordshire) is impressively decorated with Dickensiana as it fits in with the atmosphere of the story.
Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg (in their first season of The Avengers together) have by now established their on screen chemistry as Steed and Mrs Peel and are a joy to watch. They are very close friends but they don't always understand each other's methods of working. For instance, it is not until Steed gives the game away that she realizes that the breakdown has been put on to fool the villains. As fans of the show like myself usually expect, a first class supporting cast is on hand to support Macnee and Rigg including the excellent Mervyn Johns as Brandon Storey who appeared in many British films of the 1940's including the classic Ealing chiller DEAD OF NIGHT (1945). He was also Bob Crachet alongside Alastair Sym's Ebeneezer Scrooge in SCROOGE (1951), which incidentally featured a young Patrick Macnee as the young Jacob Marley. All other members of the cast including Jeanette Sterke as Janice Crane, Alex Scott as the scheming Trasker and Barry Warren as the nervous and easily lead Wade all suit their parts perfectly.
