hannay (1988 - 1989)

Voyage Into Fear (Episode 3 - Season 1)
Director Guy Slater
Cast Robert Powell, Gavin Richards, Amanda Rosen, 
Christopher Scoular, Jill Meager
Writer Michael Robson
Plot
The Governments of Great Britain and Imperial Germany are in a race to arm themselves with modern battleships, but this time Count Von Scwabing has a plan to ensure that his country is the winner.
The Ally
Mhh, good question! In this Voyage into fear Hannay and the girl he has to protect are completely alone. 
The "Hannay Girl"
Madeline (Amanda Rosen), is a 14-year old girl studying in England, where she's supposed to be Sweedish. But in fact, she's incognito as she's the niece of the Russian Tsar. When she finds herself in danger, she runs into Hannay's arms, calling him "Papa" so she can escape first from her teacher, then from the bad guys.
The Bad Guy
Even with the makeup we can recognize you, Count Von Schwabing! Yes, The Fellowship of the Black Stone is around and will use Madeline and Hannay to kill Britain's First Sea Lord. But he fails, and he even is invited to have a drink with the good guys!
Commments
Well, if I understood well, this episode gives an excellent piece of advice for children : if you feel in danger and you are sure the ugly guy is going to kidnap you, run towards the most handsome guy around! He will certainly help you! OK, I'm kidding, I just couldn't help saying that!

Seriously, I liked this episode, again written by Michael Robson is very intelligent because it uses the political situation at the time and the moral standards (how come Hannay is father if he isn't married?). About that subject there's a funny scene between Reggie and Eleanor, his wife, which shows again, that women are more intelligent than men!
