Re: The Avengers by Douglas Enefer

I think there was also a newspaper strip with Steed and Mrs Gale but I've never read that, either. It must be hard to find now except at newspaper archives which are generally not online. In haste... Details here if they help: http://wingedavenger.theavengers.tv/news/newsxtra.html All the best Andrew

Re: Why Elizabeth Shepard Got Cut As Emma

Her disappointment in the filming process isn't so far removed from why director Peter Hammond rejected the invitation to direct The Avengers on film. He loved the rehearsal period and the creativeness that came from working with the actors to bring the episodes to life before committing them to vi...

Re: Why Elizabeth Shepard Got Cut As Emma

true...but there is a huge difference between video tape shooting, and 35mm film..and 35mm usually looks better..and is the chosen choice.. I think for me, it's very much more about what fits the subject matter. For example, I tend to prefer the episodes of "Public Eye" that use OB for ex...

Re: Why Elizabeth Shepard Got Cut As Emma

She is supposed to appear at a convention close to me in the fall... I don't think I'll ask her directly, but if she reports anything about the Avengers I'll be sure to report it here! Ask her about "The Corridor People". She loved doing it and is very happy to talk about it. Jaw-dropping...

Re: Why Elizabeth Shepard Got Cut As Emma

When I corresponded with Liz a few years ago, I very much got the impression that the set up and production schedule for "The Avengers" simply didn't allow for cast input and didn't allow for collaboration. By comparison, if you take a look at her in Granada's amazing and extraordinary &qu...

Re: Original script

Ah! No! These codes! The designation isn't entirely a date code. They're project codes within a year and they all relate to 'E' for Elstree Studios (i.e. ABPC). The next two digits - '64' or '66' - is the year in which the project/series starts production; the Tara King episodes have the root code ...

Re: 4.07 - The Gravediggers

Glad you all liked the pics 😀.... I am aware not everyone is so close to such a location. Plus the limited times of the year it is open to the public. My wife and I have been lucky enough to get along there for the open days a few times over the years, and it really is a lovely place to visit. Glad...
