Here’s a bonus Triskelion question: Which Avengers episode featured the Ransack organization?
The RANSACK Triskelion:
This is the third week of RANSACK’s first Triskelion, in which the first prize will be a copy of Patrick Macnee’s Blind In One Ear. Your challenge for the next two weeks is to solve the Countless Clues contest. We have provided three clues for each of 20 Emma Peel episodes. From those clues you must deduce the title of each episode.
