	The Avengers drinking game & other episode lists.

The cast and crew lists are as complete as possible, and readers should note that they are often more informative than the originally broadcast credits; that is, I have included complete character names, if known, in place of a single name - the addition in italics - (e.g. "Captain Gifford" instead of "Gifford"); and uncredited characters (with speaking parts or notable appearances) are listed also. Some of these have been identified by a combination of research and good luck - and sometimes error. such as the infamous multiple John Bennetts, if you see a mistake let us know. Neil Redding has turned my episode synopses into an Adobe PDF (89k), for ready reference when watch the DVDs - more information here.

Please note that while I have included the subtitles for every episode in the guide, only the first sixteen episodes of Season Five^* had them on the broadcast masters.
Read the page for Who's Who??? for more information.

* 'Season Five' is in fact two (and a bit) separate runs, both in production and transmission terms:

• 16 episodes, filmed between October 1966 and April 1967, broadcast between 14 January & 6 May 1967
• 8 episodes, filmed between June and September 1967, broadcast between 30 September 1967 & 18 November 1967
• 1 episode from the Tara King first run, filming finished on 19 January 1968 and it debuted on 20 March 1968 (see below).

I prefer to call it one season, as all the original promotional material for the series announced 26 new full colour episodes (they only just managed 25 with the cross-over Tara King episode) - the individual episode pages refer to Season 5, 5B and 5C, but elsewhere I simply refer to 'Season 5'.

In Australia, the split was different - Something Nasty in the Nursery was the last episode of the first block and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Station, The Joker and Who's Who??? were held over to start the second "season". The Winged Avenger is the only episode missing from the first run of these seasons - the first broadcast date that I know of is 14 April 1975.

The "Drinks" column? I thought it'd be a pointless facet of an episode guide to list the drinks consumed by the characters, and so I did. You may wish to reference it while playing The Avengers Drinking Game.
