Sting of Steele
Prismark1024 February 2018
Well the title says it all. This episode is the variation of the classic movie The Sting.

It is also one of the more fun episodes, like the end of season party where everyone lets their hair down. Even Murphy gets on in the act as he pretends to be Remington Steele and orders Laura about.

Efrem Zimbalist Jr plays Daniel Chalmers, who fleeced some money from a rigged roulette wheel in a London casino. The crooked casino owner shoots dead his accomplice and has headed over to LA looking for Chalmers and has hired the agency.

Chalmers an old pal of Remington teams up with him so they can lay some breadcrumbs so they can scam him again. It is all to do with getting English soccer results a few minutes in advance and then laying bets before the they are released nationally.

I love the set up of a big satellite dish, a Commodore 64 computer and archive footage of the Liverpool v Newcastle FA Cup Final dating back to 1974.
