List of Changes:

Change #1 - <newline> <newline>A Red Red Rose Forever by Donald James guest stars Mike Pratt from Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) as an ailing hired assassin. Jason is mistaken for the killer thanks to a bunch of red roses. <newline>[DEimgmcXAAAACABIFEZjpgYBAEEDH] <newline>All That Glisters by Philip Broadley is the only two-parter in the series’ run. A complicated story about gold antiques and eccentric collectors, it’s most notable for the introduction of rival adventurer John Mallen (played by Clinton Greyn). One wonders if the production team were considering a second series as a two-hander with King and Mallen as friendly rivals or partners. <newline> <newline>Flamingoes Only Fly On Tuesdays by Tony Williamson is another mistaken identity story. This time Jason is mistaken for a gun runner while on holiday in the Caribbean. This is the one where Space 1999-er to be Clifton Jones and two mates give Jason the vapours by slashing his holiday wardrobe. <newline> <newline>Toki by Philip Broadley is one of the less entertaining stories of the series, but was naturally the episode repeated by BBC television when they did a season of ITC shows. The reason? The eponymous heroine in the episode is none other than Felicity Kendall, pre-Good Life as a gangster’s moll whom Jason attempts to rescue. <newline> <newline>Uneasy Lies The Head by Donald James sets Jason up with the ever-popular doppelganger storyline. In this story, his double is Lance Percival. Adam Adamant’s Juliet Harmer and semi-regular Ronnie Lacey guest star. <newline> <newline>Nadine by Philip Broadley pits Jason against Hammer ubervamp Ingrid Pitt as the eponymous femme fatale hired by Alfred Marks and Patrick Mower as part of their smuggling caper which requires a high profile patsy. Enter Jason… <newline> <newline>A Kiss For A Beautiful Killer by Gerald Kelsey features Kate O’Mara as the leader of a band of revolutionaries who rope Jason into a plot against dictator Cordobier (Clifford Evans). As with many 1960s-70s television villains, while not as violent as modern tv villains, Evans’ Cordobier is a much nastier piece of work. <newline>[DEimgmcXAAAACABIFAZjpgYBAEEDD] <newline>A Thin Band Of Air by American import Harry H Junkin is a fun story about kidnap and a stashed ransom. John Hallam, TP McKenna and Edina Ronay provide problems for Jason as he tries to come to the bottom of a mystery involving a Thin Band Of Air. <newline> <newline>The Stones Of Venice by Donald James has Jason arriving in Venice for a holiday and being informed he has won a literary prize for a Mark Caine book he hasn’t written. Roger Delgado offers support as the bemused Chief of Police Capitano Garrozzo. <newline> <newline>A Royal Flush by Philip Broadley has Jason coming to the rescue of a princess (Penelope Horner), who proves not to be all she seems. <newline> <newline>Every Picture Tells A Story by Robert Banks Stewart is about an unauthorised Chinese comic strip based on the adventures of Mark Caine. Jason is naturally more than interested as he is not seeing a penny in royalties, but the strip hides a secret. Clifford Evans, fresh from his turn as the villain of A Kiss For A Beautiful Killer returns in conservative oriental makeup as Tsung. <newline> <newline>Chapter One: The Company I Keep by Donald James has Jason finding that everything he writes starts coming true. Toby Robins and Stephanie Beacham provide the glamour, and support comes from Avengers regular Ronald Radd, Paul Whitsun-Jones and Thunderball’s Paul Stassino. <newline> <newline>Zenia by Philip Broadley has Jason rescuing the kidnapped daughter of a foreign president using the plot of one of his Mark Caine novels. The Zenia of the title is Space-1999er to be Zienia Merton, and keep an eye out for one of the revolutionaries, it’s Raiders of the Lost Ark villain Paul Freeman in a very early role. <newline> <newline>An Author In Search Of Two Characters by Dennis Spooner indulges Peter Wyngarde’s talents for comedy disguises and silly voices as he is hired to rewrite a movie script. Liz Fraser, Roy Kinnear, Dudley Foster, Neil McCarthy, Sue Lloyd and Ivor Dean lend sterling support. <newline> <newline>That Isn’t Me, It’s Somebody Else[i]A Red Red Rose Forever[/i] by Donald James guest stars Mike Pratt from Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) as an ailing hired assassin. Jason is mistaken for the killer thanks to a bunch of red roses. <newline>[DEimgmcXAAAACABIFEZjpgYBAEEDH] <newline>[i]All That Glisters[/i] by Philip Broadley is the only two-parter in the series’ run.
