Bad Time on the Border

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 19 April 2020]

The A Team look into exploitation of illegal Mexican immigrants used as slave labour in sweatshops. All done with the cooperation of crooked border guards.

BA comes across a lost Mexican girl who fled from the people traffickers. Her mother is seriously ill and The A Team are on the case.

As BA hates flying they go to Mexico on a boat. BA gets seasick.

Hannibal pretends to be a Mexican. He is as convincing as Charlton Heston in a Touch of Evil.

Amy is shown in some sexy outfits in this episode where she shows off her legs. I am sure she was not best pleased.

David Graf who became famous in the Police Academy movies has a small role.

One of my favourite episodes of all time. I like the bit where the car flips over

Average yet fun

Average yet still fun episode ( most episodes are fun) which has BA helping a Mexican girl find her mum who has been dumped in a hut by the illegal people traffickers. I liked how the team display their anger towards the traffickers, and that includes the Face, who trims down on his suaveness.

In the age of Trump this looks positively quaint. The gang rescue some illegals who are about to become sewing machine slaves.

1) BA gets sea sick. 2) Hannibal's stuntman is not very convincing 3) We get to see Melinda Culeas legs in three different outfits!!

Acceptable and average

BAD TIME ON THE BORDER is a lesser episode of THE A-TEAM, although still not without merit. This time around the team get wind of some illegal activities at a station on the Mexican border, leading George Peppard to disguise himself as a Mexican (!) to check things out. The story has the requisite comedy (and plenty of it) as well as action, but it doesn't quite zing as some of the others and the fashions really date it.
