Steed and Mrs Peel must find out why an early warning radar is failing. Emma joins the staff of The Sir Horace Winslip Hospital for Ailing Railwaymen - while Steed has lunch with Sir Horace himself aboard his private, indoor train.
Malcolm Hulke was a key writer on 'The Avengers' in its early years, yet when it moved onto film he was scarcely in evidence. 'The Gravediggers' was his one and only contribution to the Peel Era. It begins with mourners standing round a grave. As they move off, an aerial suddenly extends from the ground where the coffin is buried. No ordinary corpse, then.
Some time later, part of Britain's early warning defence system fails. The only thing that could have possibly caused the breakdown is a new radar jamming device invented by Dr.Marlow ( Lloyd Lamble ). Alas the good doctor recently died. Or did he? The Avengers' investigations take them to the Sir Horace Winslip Hospital for Ailing Railwaymen...
'The Gravediggers' contains one of the series' best eccentrics in the shape of 'Sir Horace Winslip' ( Ronald Fraser ), a 'Lord Rustless'-type buffoon whose love of railways is such he has thrown in his lot with the villains in the mistaken belief they are going to wreck the motor car industry, instead of leaving Britain wide open to nuclear attack. Sir Horace has a replica train carriage inside his country house ( complete with station platform ) and a model railway line in the garden.
A couple of faces in the cast went on to be famous years later; writer/director Steven Berkoff ( of 'Octopussy', 'Rambo' and 'The Krays' ) is 'Sager', Bryan Mosley ( for many years shopkeeper 'Alf Roberts' in 'Coronation Street' ) is 'Miller', Wanda Ventham ( 'Colonel Virginia Lake' in 'U.F.O.' and mother of Benedict Cumberbatch ) plays 'Nurse Spray' ). Ray Austin - who plays 'Baron' - was the show's stunt arranger, and went on to direct future episodes. The chief villain - 'Dr.Johnson' - is Paul Massie, who was in the Tony Hancock film 'The Rebel' ( 1960 ).
The climax is in true 'Perils Of Pauline' style - Emma has been tied to Sir Horace's railway line, and Steed rushes to the scene before the train can run her over. There is even a tinkly piano on the soundtrack. Trains played an important part in a later 'Avengers' instalment - 'A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Station' in 1967.
When one sector of the country's radar defence system fails the man in charge thinks is s natural causes; stating that jamming would be impossible. He even says a previous colleague had tried and failed to find a way of blocking the radar. Steed and Mrs Peel feel it is more than a coincidence when they are told the man is now buried in the failed sector. Steed goes to the cemetery and learns the man has been exhumed and taken to The Sir Horace Winslip Hospital for Ailing Railwaymen. He follows and is rather surprised find the dead man is alive. In order to find out what is going on there Mrs Peel goes undercover as a nurse while Steed goes to see the hospital's eccentric patron; the railway obsessed Sir Horace Winslip.
This is the sort of episode that makes 'The Avengers' such a fun programme to watch; it starts as a very traditional thriller with the investigation of damage to a system which threatens national security then gets more bizarre with graves being dug up and an eccentric who thinks he is helping his beloved railways by funding a device to stop cars from working rather than the radar. Ronald Fraser does a fine job as the obviously barmy, yet ultimately harmless, Sir Horace; he is one of the series more eccentric characters; he eats his dinner in a railway carriage while his servant operates a system that makes it look and feel as if the stationary carriage is travelling through the countryside. The episode includes some enjoyable action; the highlight being the finale where Mrs Peel is tied to the tracks of Sir Horace's miniature railway as a train speeds towards her with Steed fighting the villains aboard it! Overall a really fun instalment where the characters are more important than the actual plot.
