Joris I think it’s unlikely that we’ll ever get to see anything other that what appears on the DVD/Blu-ray. Warner Brothers have had plenty of opportunity to compile a director’s cut of The Avengers movie, but they do not appear to have any interest in putting together/restoring the movie to match ...

Do you think, I mean quite honestly, that we'll ever get a chance to see that 'first cut', with the other score on it? If it could make more sense, at least with the lab scenes planned for the original introduction. It looks great in the trailer. Did you, or your friends, see the original introducto...

I pre-ordered the French blurays a month ago. They're more expensive than the UK ones (compared to the amount I paid for the Series 4 UK bluray set). The three boxsets cost €180, which is really costly. But I'd do anything to buy them! :wink: :lol:

I'll start reading the part after the one talking about the 1998 movie. It's great to list all the deleted scenes that didn't make it--shame when I think of it, that last year's bluray didn't contain the director's cut. :cry: Though Emily isn't a good episode, according to me, I agree with what the ...

I think it's been done already (ie: complete research at the archives). Jaz himself if I remember told us there was no other unseen footage there. :cry:

Or maybe there is, but due to copyrights issues or costs, it cannot be released, yet...

New Avengers, here we come! :lol: I concluded the last chapter from the first show. Again, I learnt new things, this time with one of my favorite episodes: Take Over (ie: the ambulance that comes to Steed's rescue and the character hearing the truth lying behind Grenville's stay at the Bassett's. I ...

Do you have more info about the original material from 'Invasion of the Earthmen', if you checked the original script as well, by any chance? So, from what I understood, there were more scenes inside the school about the training the teens are following, like that room where Steed would have flown l...

I'm at Series 6. I loved the beginning since I have that peculiar passion for the mysterious Bryce era, like the set from a scene of the original pilot later used as Mother's frontyard in 'the forget me knot'. I also needed to move on to 'Homicide and Old Lace'--I couldn't wait-- to see if there wer...

I'm near the end of the Rigg colour period. When they changed their shooting schedule and began recording many episodes simultaneously, everything accelerates. One element I found particularly worth studying are the cut prints some ITV stations broadcast, right from the first 35mm episodes. Is that ...
