Episode 8

The Double Affair

Writers: Joseph Calvelli and Clyde Ware

Director: John Newland

Guests: Senta Berger (Serena), Michael Evans (Darius Two), Sharon Farrell (Sandy Wister),

Filmed: 28 August to 04 September 1964

Premiere: 17 November 1964

Places: New York and Washington (USA) and Alps (Austria)

FYI: It is the first (and only) time that the name of a guest (Senta Berger) appears in the credits before David McCallum. The episode had additional scenes inserted and was distributed as the first feature in the series: The Spy With my Face. The Double Affair was the best episode since the beginning of the series. The opening scene of toy little robots attacking Illya in front of the Del Floria, despite its naivety, became an icon of the 1960s pop culture.
