I can’t imagine an episode any worse than this one, 18 October 2019
The mission here is nothing special - Mundy is tasked with stealing a document from what is supposed to be an impregnable safe. The safe has six keys held by six different individuals. Pretty routine stuff.
I never thought I’d find an episode of It Takes a Thief that I would dislike quite as much as I do Get Me to the Revolution on Time. To sum up my feelings in one word, this episode is stupid. Where to begin? First, why not wait until the following morning to sign the contract - you know, right before the Swiss couriers arrive to pick it up? You can’t steal a contract in the middle of the night if it hasn’t been signed. Second, why would Al try to break into the overly complicated safe? Why not steal the document AFTER the couriers have it? Third, Robert Wagner and Ivan Dixon’s attempts at accents are laughable. You can hear Wagner’s accent change in mid-sentence. And fourth, Al’s cover is a cocktail mixologist? Huh? That’s about the stupidest thing imaginable.
There’s really not much in Get Me to the Revolution on Time that I found enjoyable. The lone bright spot I can think of was Morgan Woodward as Ivor Phillips. He plays a fantastic baddie.
3/10
