Masterspy

Does anyone remember Masterspy with William Franklyn that used to be on at tea time on Saturday.

I can remember it, and I am desperately trying to rmeber the name of his assistant, it wasn't Moneypenny but it was something like that. The show was absolutely terrible as I recall!

Remembered it as soon as I submitted that reply, it was Miss Moneypacker.

From TV Cream: MASTERSPY (late 1970s) ITV
UPMARKET PARLOUR GAME cloak-and-dagger business in weekly 45 minute doses. Sir WILLIAM "SCHWEPPES" FRANKLYN hosted, with JENNY LEE-WRIGHT on hand as, erm, "Miss Moneypacker". Opened with famed Clouseau-esque animated japery as be-cloaked agent lit bomb fuse with cigar. Premise relied on three "agents" assigned a mission plus elaborate cover stories, then meeting requisite quota of special "guests" en route to target. Contestants awarded jumble of correspondence at the outset from "The Department Of Hazardous Projects" courtesy of one "R.J. Bingham-Sterndale". KRYTPON FACTOR-lite sequence of rounds - logic, observation, manual etc. - mingled with appearances from Agent X (aka Very Special Guest), culminating in GENERATION GAME rip-off playlet with Franklyn prompting hapless contestants via walkie-talkies.
