"Mission to Montreal" is the fifth episode of the second series of the 1960s cult British spy-fi television series The Avengers, starring Patrick Macnee. It was first broadcast by ABC on 27 October 1962. The episode was directed by Don Leaver and written by Lester Powell.[2]
Steed and Dr. King are assigned a mission to recover a microfilm containing the stolen plans of a missile early warning system. Shipboard, they meet knives and a drunken film star.[3]
Mission to Montreal is notable for introducing Dr. Martin King (Jon Rolloason), a thinly disguised reworked character of Dr. David Keel. This story marks the first of King's three appearances in the series. The other Keel episodes heldover and rewritten for series 2 are The Sell-Out and Dead on Course.
