The series originally was a big hit because it had a strong British representation. At the start we see the man coming out of the ocean wearing a suit which represents British formality and he pulls out an umbrella which is also a very English prop. When Steed arrives to Peel's apartment they start fencing which is a British sport. On the train Steed pulls out a tea set, a boiling kettle of tea, a tea set and a 3 story tray of pastries, the producers clearly over emphasize the English stereotype here. As they arrive at their destination they go to a pub straight away. Even when there's a dog chase against Smallwood the dogs are a bloodhound breed which again is a purely British breed. Also throughout the whole episode the use of mine-en-scene is emphasize through their outfits to present how formal and classy British citizens were.
