The Avengers International Fan Forum

When forum members bring up the subject of favourite episodes, my father's The Hour that Never Was nearly always features among fans' favourites. The atmosphere was unlike any other episode, its director (Gerry O'Hara) announcing that he was going...

He never really tells the est of the group what his specialty was... was he picked for his secret agents skills, or was he supposed to be the best of the best ? And - if they picked him because he was an agent, then he obviously is a well known...

Having watched all of the monochrome, this week I've started watching the colour Mrs Peel season. For the umpteenth time! When I first joined this forum I was so surprised to see so many negative comments from Avengers fans about this season in...

This week I watched The See-through man. Definitely not one of the better ones from season 5. In fact I suspect it's in most people's bottom 5 of the season. The main problem with this one is the lack of a menacing villain, so no real threat to...

Anyone got £4000.00 to spare ?

I think Murdersville has the lot: great location, serious dramatic undercurrent, surreal events, plenty of humour and even a helicopter chase. The ducking scene must be one of the most memorable ever Avengers scenes. The season needed some drama...

One of the things that has always attracted me to the show is the look. It's so distinctive. Many of the contemporary stuff made at the same time like the ITC series were pretty much interchangeable, they all looked the same and slightly too...

Which episode more than any other typifies The Avengers. For me it has to be The Cybernauts. This episode has everything. An equal measure of Steed and Emma in glorious monochrome. Witty dialogue, diabolical masterminds, great sets, great script,...

I usually don't have trouble with accents in the English language. I work with Koreans, Filipinos, Chinese, and many others with English as a second language, and have no difficulty understanding. However, the early episodes with Steed and Cathy are...

We all have our favorites....Now think about the WORST one..

from each era, and the all time clunker..

Back in the day Emma's pay increase made the tabloid headlines it seems :D Crickey £450.00 a week is a pretty good salary by todays standards let alone back in the mid 60s !!

In the episode The Wringer , after Steed has left Mrs. Gale alone in his apartment, she writes something on the mirror in lipstick. Can anyone figure out what she wrote? I just can't make it out. It looks like two words, the second of which is Me (I...

...In my opinion are the villains; they are too much of a cartoony caricature of how a 'baddie' should be, or are just plain boring.
In the Gale era and the monochrome Peel it seemed that the villains had a lot more character about them.
In the Gale...

Last week I watched Hidden tiger. Surely one of the best of season 5. Great plot, great guest stars (Ronnie, Gabriella). I love the road signs leading up to PURR. The plot to this was borrowed by The X Files some 30 years later. If you're going to...

We had this topic on the previous forum.

What happened (in your imagination) with the characters from the Avengers.
Did Steed became a disc jockey for Radio 1? Did Emma became a crime fiction novelist? Did Cathy went back to Africa? Just some fun...

This week I watched Never. A great episode, but it may suffer from similarities with Return of Cybernauts and Positive negative man. Not quite as much subtle humour as usual, though Steed's line at the end, Plastic politicians? Who would spot the...

Looking forward to reading this. What I would really love to read though is the proposed movie script that was written in the 1960s. Sadly it was never filmed. Does anyone know if the script has survived? Indeed does anyone know anything at all...

How often do original props turn up :shock: No prizes for guessing which episode it's from :D In a bizarre list of coincidences, it was spotted by accident, by my best friend, in an old 60s photographic collection, that collection turned out to be...

My top ten is :

1. Don't look behind you (The best)
2.Warlock
3.Man with two shadows
4.Dressed to kill
5.Mr Teddy Bear
6.Brief for Murder
7.The Undertakers
8.Mort a la carte
9.The Mauritius Penny
10.The Charmers

This week I watched The Living dead. Very good episode, though there are better ones in season 5. Julian Glover was excellent as always. Just how many episodes centre around graveyards! One thing that struck me was that the creators of The X files...

...why does Steed read so much Tintin books? In two or 3 Cathy Gale episodes I remember that he's reading Herge's Tintin in The Man With Too Shadows and The Outside-In Man . In the color seasons I also remember him reading The Blue Lotus in french....

I recently watched this episode on the BBC4 broadcast and thoroughly enjoyed it.

After surfing through some reviews, people were complaining of sexism and a generally boring plot.

I loved the intrigue of Henrietta and her voice was just so...

The winged avenger is one of those episodes I'm sure divides everyone on this site. I fall into the camp that loves it. Purists of the monochrome era will undoubtedly groan when this one is mentioned. While I also prefer season 4, I still find much...

Here's another script we've been allowed to offer for free download thanks to the generosity and general good-egg-ness of the Marshalls, the scriptwriter, Roger and his son Rodney.

This script is scanned from my own original copy and is annotated...

I am sending scripts - one by one - to Allard who will be putting them online on this forum and making them available to the TAF website as well. First up The Girl From Auntie, which will hopefully be online sometime later this month.
