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.

There's a quick review of each episode, and a Top 5 episodes page, derived from the reviews can be accessed by clicking on the round rating buttons, or using the navigation bar.

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'.

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.
