North American audiences saw the CathyGale episodes of the series for the first time in the early 1990s when they were broadcast on AandE.
Cathy conducts Steed through a top security gold depository, leading to the strong room guarded by Groves (Neil Wilson) where £3,000,000 of gold ingots are stacked.
