Re: Emma Peel Tag Theme

Wow that’s thorough Andrew. Thank you. Happy to help. That cue sticks in my mind because it's part of these two library sessions taped a few days after the score for "The Fear Merchants" (the first colour show)... and, as such, it was tricky identifying what the other "library" ...

Re: Emma Peel Tag Theme

For the Emma Peel tag I have no idea how that has been obtained in its full length. Not aware of any commercial release and none of the episodes have it in full either. Not had chance to unravel this fully... but looking at my notes, this is a melody referred to as "Post Title Theme". The...

Re: Imprint Films: The Avengers - The Tara King Collection coming Nov. 29

The accompanying booklets are great too. I kind of forgot that the initial batch of Tara episodes, which were broadcast as US season 3, performed quite well in America and it was only season 4 where the ratings plummeted there. It was also interesting to read of potential plans for a seventh season...

Just to confirm - not a hoax. I've been in touch with Richard over the last year and we corresponded briefly last night.

Re: Anyone Know of Some Cool Avengers Art?

I'm going off to university in the fall, and am looking to add a bit of Avengerland charm to my dorm room. Does anybody know of some nice Avengers related prints or posters that I could buy? I've poked around a bit but haven't found very many that really speak to me, and was hoping that one of you ...

Re: Imprint Films: The Avengers - The Tara King Collection coming Nov. 29

Yes, exactly. You put it very well. For a show in its 8th year to keep trying new things, especially given the pressure they were under to produce stuff in time for American screening, was remarkable. I like it when they move away from a formula, and something like Take-Over feels very harsh and da...

Re: Imprint Films: The Avengers - The Tara King Collection coming Nov. 29

As well as being hugely popular in most of the world, the Tara episodes have had a re-evaluation here in the UK too. They're some of the very best, in my opinion. I have a lot of time for these episodes because there's so many flavours to them and some of them try to do things that are a bit more d...

Re: Imprint Films: The Avengers - The Tara King Collection coming Nov. 29

I am very much enjoying Andrew Pixley's glossy book with this set, which is my current bedtime reading. Reading about how the series wrapped up, and what Linda Thorson and Patrick Macnee planned to do next (or didn't!) is making me very curious to watch the Mr Jericho disk now! I like that it comes...
