i think that this episode was really good , even though i remember just seeing bit and pieces of the series when i was little , this is an episode you'll never forget and you'll possibly get hooked to the series. it begins with Indy and co. travelling to London where he meets Vicky Prentice (Liz Hurley), a Suffrogette. Indy and vicky travel to oxford where they find his old tutor. in the end indy gets on a train and goes to join the belgium army while she stays in London. Flannery and Hurley are brilliant as Indy and Vicky and the scene with the languages is just class so i think this was a great episode for the first series.

So well done, the writing, acting, and directing are fantastic

This series deserves to be seen by more people. The production standards are far above other shows during this time.
I highly recommend this to anyone interested in Indiana Jones, the character. His backstory, as presented here is absolutely fascinating and spectacular. See it for yourself and be thrilled by this project.

Great Program - Needs a real BluRay Reissue

What this Series needs is a BluRay re-issue of this show in their original formats - with the Old Indy wraparounds. I don't believe it EVER received a turn on home video.
The production, writing, direction, casting, location and ILM effects are better than many theatrical releases.
The re-edited "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones" that is currently streaming on Disney+ are better than nothing, but like Firefly, watching them out of sequence (as currently edited), actually hinders the story lines, and It's disconcerting to see Corey Carrier switch ages within the same "episode", because they've combined footage from S1 and S2 . PLUS, we're forced to watch 5 of them before getting to SPF's teen / YA Indy.

Warning: Spoilers
Even though there's hardly any action in this episode, something you might have expected after seeing Curse of the Jackal, it's another one of my favorite episodes. It's very emotional and moving and the wonderful Elizabeth Hurley makes a great love interest of Indy. We also see Vanessa Redgrave in a short guest role.
After leaving the Revolution in Mexico, Indy and Remy come to London to enlist in the Belgian Army. While waiting to be called up, Indy meets the bus conductor Vicky Prentiss, a "spirited young lady", who supports Women Suffrage and attends a meeting with her. They realize that they have a lot in common and fall in love with each other. Indy and Vicky travel to Oxford to visit Indy's old private tutor Miss Seymour, where Vicky continues to fight for her right to vote and Indy realizes that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.
Humor and Emotions make up the core of a wonderfully written and filmed episode, with a great Sean Patrick Flanery, an even better Elizabeth Hurley and the greatest bookends with George Hall of the whole series. (10/10)
