The Finny Foot Affair.
Action, Adventure, Crime Episode aired 1 December 1964.
The opening act of this exciting episode looks oddly familiar to Michael Crichton fans. Crichton was a fan of the series and was very intrigued by the idea of a small remote Village whos citizens have perished from a mysterious nerve agent. The 2 UNCLE Agents in HAZMAT suits, land by helicopter in a Scottish seaside Village where all have perished, they make their way to a local Doctor's office and retrieve the source of the infection. Upon returning to the Chopper, the Agents unleash a barrage of incendiary explosives and incinerate the Village in a raging inferno and return the evidence to a secret laboratory. 8 years later the same premise shows up in Crichton's novel and eventually the feature film and Ridley Scott's excellent remake. Coincidence?....Well.
