"There's always a minority afraid of something."

Warning: Spoilers
When the guy from Moral Climates showed up, I thought the story was making a segue into the realm of global warming. But it got back on track pretty quickly, with Stendahl (Patrick Macnee) having his android kill Garrett (Stuart Devenie), and his attendant Pikes (Ian penchant for Mune) whipping up a replacement, only to find that Garrett was an android himself. You could tell Stendahl was playing for keeps with the visitors from the Moral Climates committee, informed by the replacement Garrett that all was well, and that Stendahl had reformed from his penchant for literature and film, deemed inappropriate and harmful to the state. With the real Garrett finally showing up, he gets the old Cask of Amontillado treatment before Stendahl torches his entire mansion, content to finally get his revenge against a government bent on censorship. The story has a semblance of similarity to an old Twilight Zone episode titled 'The Obsolete Man' starring Burgess Meredith.
