I'd like to see a digital release, preferably from iTunes. Most of my media consumption these days seems to be on my iPad. Series 5 is available, but nothing else so far.

Was watching "Never Never Say Die" earlier, for the first time in a number of years.

When Steed goes into Dr Stone's house, it's obvious that the countryside you see through the open front door is fake (matte painting).

The concept of the episode is as pure an Emma Peel story as you get - especially from Brian Clemens. It strains a little bit of credibility that so many people would willingly to e accomplices to murder but the story itself is intriguing enough to get past that. At least there were hold outs.

To be more specific about the shortened version I mentioned: It started with the main theme, instead of the drum roll. The title read "The Avengers in Color", then came the sword hitting the shield. After that, it immediately cut to the "Starring Patrick Macnee", "And Linda ...

I like this episode, though not in the standard style of Emma Peel episodes, but it works. This remake of the Cathy Gale episode has its own interesting scenes, characters, detective line. This is one of the favorite Avengers episodes of my mother, when she saw it on television for the first time, ...

Watched "Love All" a couple of days ago. When Tara is in the window, contemplating a suicidal jump, she looks down at the street below and it's empty beneath her. We then see her view of Steed pulling up and parking directly below her. He gets out of the car, looks up and spots her. He the...

There's someone running for public office where I live by the name of Linda Thor. Every time I see one of her campaign signs, you know who I'm thinking of!
