Sadly only three episodes of series 1 survive of this 60s spyfi classic. Ian Hendry starred in the first series as Dr David Keel, John Steed a secondary character, who obviously would take over when Hendry left.

Dr. Keel rescues a girl who tries to commit suicide by jumping into the Thames River. He discovers that the young lady is a trapeze artist with a visiting circus and foreign agents seek to capture her in order to force her father, a defecting scientist, to return to his country behind the Iron Curtain
TUNNEL OF FEAR.
Top-secret documents are disappearing and Steed trails them to a tawdry fairgrounds in Southend. He's captured, hypnotized and left bound in a train tunnel to await his fate.
