'Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.'
Stead is having bad dreams, and when he accompanies Mrs Peel to a Christmas party hosted by Publisher Brandon Storey, his dreams come to life.
What an absolute joy this episode is, you can only imagine what viewers back in 1965 made of this, talk about hitting the jackpot, fast forward almost sixty years, and today's Christmas offerings are nowhere near this good.
It's creepy, it's full of sinister ideas and concepts, it's one of the best I've seen. It doesn't just feel like an episode with seasonal bits bolted on, it's actually a well constructed Christmas plot.
Some cracking scenes throughout, I loved the humour of the Christmas card scene, I also loved the visuals of a gun wielding Father Christmas.
A Christmas class act, 9/10.
