This month AJ and Andy review one of the most celebrated episodes of the first series in which Lifeline is threatened when Monique gets too close to an SS officer impersonating an evader. As well as exploring the welcome character development for both Monique and Albert, and the bravura performance by Angela Richards in particular, the pair also discuss Clifford Rose's portrayal of the ruthless Kessler.
They reserve special attention for the episode's sublime 'No Compartments' speech which is discussed in depth towards the end of the episode. Why Angela didn't receive a Best Actress BAFTA is anyone's guess.
Elsewhere Andy takes a deep dive into the locations featured in the episode, while AJ explains the surprising reason why Clive Arrindell, who plays Stoller here, is such a familiar face in Spain.
Recounting of the unspeakable activities of the original SS Totenkopf Division (of which Stoller was a part) incorporates discussion of the massacres at Le Paradis and Chasselay. You can find more information on these incidents here: Le Paradis: http://www.leparadismassacre.com/ Chasselay: (https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/chasselay-massacre-june-1940)
As usual we close by hearing what fans of the series think of the episode, before Sarah tells us what the series meant to her first time around.
