The Avengers International Fan Forum

May I ask a question? There are photos (possibly staged) of some of the early series writers, producers or editors chatting together in the studio - and media articles from the time implying that this was a TV series with a younger, savvier crew who were trying new ways of collaborative working, tru...

The briefcase box ("firsts") is probably worth something - it came with a brochure-style booklet, didn't it? However, attics are death for VHS tapes - they rarely survive the alternating heat and cold up there, which leads to the oxide becoming detached on the tape itself, rendering them u...

Is this something from the movie?

Who is Bailey?

I think his work speaks for itself. Despite The Avengers having some very distinguished directors, like Charles Crichton and Barry Norman's dad Leslie, nearly all the subsequent directors tried to emulate Peter Hammond's style, which set the "house style" back in the videotaped era - he sa...
