Re: 4.06 - The Cybernauts

Just rewatched this one, and obviously terrific. I didn't realize in the earlier poor copy that I saw that the kung-fu expert that Mrs. Peel was investigating as the possible murderer was actually one of the industrialists who got killed by the assassin Cybernaut! That part of the investigation is a...

Re: The Avengers Vs The Paranormal

Another reason to hope and dream that the Cathy years get released on a format I can easily attain here in the US! Warlock does sound interesting!

The Avengers Vs The Paranormal

In Too Many Christmas Trees, Steed and Peel come across a cabal of people who are using ESP to both steal secrets and kill remotely. This seems to edge the series into the realm of the paranormal and/or the supernatural. Is this the only such instance of our heroes facing such a danger? I don't mean...

Re: 4.05 - Too Many Christmas Trees

Just rewatched this, only my second viewing. On my initial Emma years DVD, this episode wouldn't play, so I only got to see it by renting another disc. The bluray is a major improvement in visual but also specifically sound, so that I was able to understand all that wit much better! I remember an ol...

The Eyeball Door of Emma Peel

Was this most unusual peeper-esq peep hole to give visitors the once-over a product that was purchasable at the time? Or was it made for the show? It has a very PopArt feel about it. On this forum, some fans have made working copies: https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/mrs-peel-youre-needed-the-av...

Re: 4.04 - Death at Bargain Prices

Just watched my fancy-pants bluray of this episode. It seems like this is the first episode that completely captures the best of the Steed/Peel dynamic! It is a fun adventure with so much wit abounding. Each word is perfect, and our cast are cooking with gas. The villain's plot was nefarious, if ill...
