Broadcast November 2nd 1976
Before directors listed me as Robert Gillespie “able to get laughs” they had me down as Robert “kills well”. Meaning, I looked good dead. After a little practise in The Saint, I achieved near-perfection in The New Avengers.
In The Last of the Cybernauts I am the engineer Frank Goff, besotted with his mechanical creation - a super-robot. Felix Kane, a vengeful arch-criminal, played by Robert Lang - in a mask and in a wheelchair - is checking out how useful I can be to him.
Note the curious, sculptural object that Kane keeps in his den… the remains of the crashed and incinerated car that maimed and disfigured him. It’s a permanent reminder, fuelling his craving for vengeance.
I turned out to be of no help to Kane’s plans and underwent a stylish death at the hands of my own device.
The stars, Patrick Macnee (Steed) and Joanna Lumley (Purdey) don’t appear in this clip and I didn’t meet them on the shoot.
