It might be worth people considering which two episodes they would like to see on the big screen: given that the potential 'panelists' would be my father, Don Leaver and Gerry O'Hara, my suggestion would be The Hour that Never Was and The House that Jack Built, voted two of the favourites on this f...

Hi Rodney :) It doesn't sound sad to me. Avengerland is addictive. I'd love to visit the bridge at Tyke's Water Lake but I understand that it is privately owned. This is true ... but in previous years we've been able to make arrangements to visit the location with the attendees at the Treasure Hunt....

Hi Rodney :) My father and I might liase with the BFI and see if we can arrange a screening next year of a couple of Avengers episodes with the writers and directors on hand for a question and answer session followed by a late lunch in Chinatown.

Probably Toby Miller's book from the BFI. I did get that one and read it; as you say, very dry indeed. Not one of my favou...

Probably my favourite "Avengers" strip of the 1960s. Lovely artwork and nicely wacky storylines; capture the feel of the colour 1967 episodes nicely.

It certainly isn't a case of lack of support. My father has attended other conventions for lesser known shows such as for his Public Eye series, although he has commented that many of the audience were bordering on 'anorak'. Gosh! A "Public Eye" convention! Must have missed that. I know t...
