hannay (1988 -1989)

The Hazard Of The Die (Episode 6 - Season 1)
Director Jeremy Summers
Cast Robert Powell, Christopher Scoular, Gavin Richards, 
Leonie Mellinger
Writer Michael Robson
Plot
When Hannay saves the life of a desperate young lady, he little realises how quickly this act of bravery will bring him face-to-face with his arch-enemy Von Schwabing...
The Ally
We find again Reggie Armitage in this episode but in a rather funny way. He hides in Hannay's appartement a powerful machine-gun, thinking Hannay is on holidays, but he isn't and finds it in his room (very funny scene). And also he has to ignore Hannay when both are invited by the Under Secretary of State for War (extremely funny again).
The "Hannay Girl"
Lady Veronica (Leonie Mellinger) is the wife of the Under Secretary of State for War, but she's also a gambler and has lost a lof of money. Full of despair, she tries to commit suicide and is saved by Hannay. To thank him for his act, she invites him to meet her husband, the same day Reggie comes to dinner!
The Bad Guy
In the meantime, mischevious Count Von Schwabing knows the situation of Lady Veronica and as he knows who she's married to, he wants to exchange money against information in that powerful weapon.
But Hannay  thinks that he and Lady Veronica had an affair and he wants to blackmail her. As the gentleman he is, he will save the day!
Comments
This is another good episode written by Michael Robson. I liked the imbroglio between Hannay and Reggie and Von Schwabing. I love the episodes with the mischevious Count!
There's something else I loved from this episode is that it was filmed (I'm 100% sure!) in Salisbury, in the south of England. A beautiful city in the countryside which brings me beautiful memories!
