The Avengers International Fan Forum

...
Paul O’Grady has heaped praise on The Avengers during an event to mark the 60th anniversary of the 1960s television programme...
Great to hear about the Online event. I remember that Paul O'Grady had an early evening TV show about ten years ago...

True, but then it was never lost / missing presumed dead in the same way.

My selection:

Season 2: the Venus Smith ones
Season 3: Death of a Batman, The Grandeur that was Rome
Season 4: Too Many Christmas Trees, The Thirteenth Hole, Silent Dust, Quick-Quick Slow Death (I used to really like this one, perhaps I just grew a...

I suppose Epic would be the only one to top it but it doesn't quite count, having been shot all over the studio with the dozens of real props scattered about.

yeah, you're right...concerning ' Epic '.......actually, one of my favorite episodes...

So here's question to the forum. . . if you could own any single prop from the show, what would it be?
Do props include cars? :) If so it would be the 1928 3ltr Bentley.

heck yeah...would love to own that Bentley...and be tweaking it in my...

R.J.K. de V. Steed, presented by the Bagnell and Wintle Hunt in 1892.
there's dialogue about it in The Nutshell and The Charmers.

A case for medical equipment is a nice theory. The hard material outside could suggest vulnerable contents. Maybe a salesmen's case with sample's of breakable products, this would also fit with the strange mid size.

Indeed. I don't believe it's a...

Fahrenheit 451 was early 1966 whereas The Living Dead was late '66 to January 1967 so they were reused for The Avengers.
Does anyone recognise the underground city set? Is that also from Fahrenheit?

just got done watching Fahrenheit....yeah, looks...

Dial A Deadly Number

Steed is with Peter Bowles' character - he gets told that they can judge someone's credit risk from the colour of his socks. That's the one that came to my mind.

7:20 -

Yes, this is definitely it. It was lurking in my...

Or crime as it's better known! :D

The kind of thing The Avengers should investigate...

yeah, maybe...might make a perplexing episode...

wow, great list....you really did your homework..outstanding!

Thanks, mousemeat, but it's all really just an excuse to keep watching the shows, focusing on different aspects each time.

been there and done that. after 40 plus years, I never get...

The DVD boxset had all the surviving screen-tests (all minus sound) - Lyn Ashley, Diane Clare, Susan Engel, Jane Murdoch, Valerie Van Ost, Toby Robins, Susan Travers and Wanda Ventham.

Some tests had with actor James Maxwell as Steed and others...

Honor Blackman once mentioned being moved by Don't Look Behind You.

Diana Rigg (I recall vaguely) once said that episodes are all a blur, a single block in her memory.

I'm guessing it was a piece of red acrylic

Mmmm, it's very thin and acrylic is usually 3mm transparent or frosted, neither look right at all.

This is most interesting. This gives insight in how The Avengers was structured. Be interesting to compare it to other partners/era's.

I agree. I've been rewatching the Cathy episodes and I absolutely love the live atmosphere. You can almost feel the tension at times. The mistakes are mercifully few and only add to the live theatre experience. I'm still wondering about the...

Joanna Lumley is still acting.
She would certainly be able to do a role like e.g. Mother in the years of Tara King.
Not an action roel, because it would be better to leave that to new characters - to promote them- but a supporting role in the...

On the other hand, the casualness of streaming gives the opportunity for the audience of The Avengers to grow again. I could not name all the shows I've recently discovered on streaming networks.

Oh, I misunderstood, I thought you meant that American pilot for an Avengers remake.

I wonder whether airing incomplete episodes is a ploy to force fans to buy home videos. I remember in the early nineties I taped Thunderbirds and two or four episodes were never aired but were available on home video.

maybe....perhaps aimed at...

The graffiti titles were on some of the episodes CBS aired in the late 70's.

Great website, indeed very nice that it ended up with someone who truly appreciates. it.

Yes, the production date is the last day recorded in the paperwork, where known. Some dates are estimates when we just know the week.

I watched 'You'll catch your death...'

Mysterious virus spreading....

spooky episode....sorta chilling..in today's climate
