Though the first (monochrome) film series with Emma Peel was made on film in order to attract foreign purchasers, ABPC still had to go abroad and sell it, using what they had made as samples. There wasn't US investment in the actual making of the show (and thus a chance to influence its direction) u...

There's no mention of it on Patrick's website, which I gather is maintained by Rupert, his son.

But on that note Mission Impossible, Man from Uncle and Batman also had location shoots and under the same pressure. I simply meant the expectations on the Avengers were the ...

The remaining 26 epsiodes didn't have to start til the fall. And at that time Star Trek was cranking out 26 episodes a year. However Star Trek had an ensemble cast and a lot of the scenes were done on a standing set that was the same from week to week. Producing 26 episodes with different casts (as...
