synopsis
An organization specializing in extortion manages to extract money from nervous millionaires by demonstrating how easy it would be to commit murder. The mastermind behind these simulated killings is Nathaniel Needle (George Murcell), who makes it plain that he's just as capable of pulling off the "real thing." Steed and Emma dedicate themselves to stopping Needle's nasty little protection racket -- if they can avoid being murdered themselves. Written by Philip Levene, "You Have Just Been Murdered" premiered in England on October 28, 1967, and in America on January 24, 1968.
