However the piece still is problematic. For me it comes across too much like a fan film. Meaning you can tell the people who made the movie are followers of the show, it doesn't gel. They know the trappings but don't understand how to translate the spirit and core to a movie. All the avengerish ele...

Having recently read Joanna Lumley’s lovely tribute to Brian Clemens in the Radio Times, I thought it would be fabulous of we could ask Joanna to write a forward to the Avengerland Regained book. She is a superb writer and author and her unique dynamic enthusiasm, endorsement and insight would give...

Regarding original topic of thread -

Her basement flat is in one of the most fashionable, expensive streets in London. Although probably not as expensive and fashionable as some streets - it is Chiswick rather than Kensington or Chelsea - and it probably wasn't quite as smart then as it is now. Handy for the M4 though ! https://www.go...

I attended a recent interview with John Krish, and he gave much the same story as reported above. I think it was his experience as a successful commercials director which largely influenced his being given the job of directing the titles, which needed to be stylish and pacey. The sequence was based ...

The digital guide on my TV states -

'The original Avengers series and the first not to have been lost. Follow the suave British spy Dr. David Keel and his charismatic female assistances take on the nebulous world of crime and espionage.'

Anyway, trying to link Freud with The Avengers is out of topic. NEVER, had I heard of any scriptwriters, actors or members of the cast making an allusion to him. But it's maybe in to invent some links like that. As I had written above : 'we can write anything on any series', especially four or five...
