Re: From Bobby Steed

I think we could not only bring it back, but make it in to a Feature Film as well, a sensational one! The Avenger's could take place in our present time. It could be marketed to people who are not familair with The Series and to younge people. Look at James Bond for example, it is timeless and peop...

I was watching Spooks last night and it struck me it could easily be adapted to a Avengers type program. Sir Harry = Steed/Mother Ruth = the brainy bit of Emma Lucas = Gambit Beth=Tara/Purdey It's set in present day London but somehow it seems a bit unreal. Everyone's a bit too clever. The technolog...

Another giveway that Steed & Emma 'did it' that I've not seen mentioned is in Death at Bargain Prices.

In the 'Mrs Peel is in ladies underwear' bit Steed looks down Emma's blouse. I don't think in 1964 a gentleman would do that to 'just' a good friend

I know when you're creating a fantasy cast of the show it's pointless listing little known or unknown actors but remember that's how Patrick, Honor, Diana Linda & Joanna were perceived when they were cast in the show. Ian Hendry & Gareth Hunt were the exceptions of course. Gareth had just c...

Re: From Bobby Steed

Do you think that Anne Hathaway could play Emma Peel. I defintely think Rachel Sterling would be the best reprising her Mum's Role. Bobby :D IMHO I think any number of actresses could do the look. Kate Beckinsale, Sienna Miller, Jennifer Garner, Anna Friel, Megan Fox, Keira Knightly, Michelle Ryan ...

Personally I think we should forget any question of resurrecting Steed or Emma. Any attempt to recast them is bound to fail. I also don't think we shouldn't attempt recreate Avengerland as it was in 60's. I feel we should look to Dr Who as inspiration. The new New Avengers that I see is a bigger bol...

Question: Do you think for any future Avengers to work, it would need to be set: - in the 60's - in the 70's - or in a time that still looks and feels like the 60's? The reason I ask is, would the Avengers be able to do what they do in the year 2010, in this world and culture? I think any remake wo...

Firstly I should say that I don't there shouldn't be any atempt to redo the Avengers. We have what we have. Let's enjoy it. But, If anyone does try, it seems clear they can't use the same characters. I think the only way forward is to use similar characters as they did in Minder. It would need to be...
