Previous Episode: Mini-Episode: Summer Chunting
Next Episode: The Italian Job (2003)

The final (for a while, anyway) edition of And Now For Something Completely Similar begins with a discussion of the third Harry Palmer flick - Billion Dollar Brain. During this discussion, the guys talk about it all including how this movie completely abandons the "mundane" approach of The IPCRESS File in favour of the populist Bond format, the villain sadly being more relevant in 2021, lack of computer understanding in 1967, Jason does some observational comedy about Karl Malden and much more.
 
Next week: And Now For Something Completely Similar continues with an examination of the 2003 "remake" of The Italian Job.
