The Avengers International Fan Forum

I have stated in the past that the Peel colours are the most formulaic of all the Avengers seasons, but Death's Door can't be accused of this.

We have few back-to-the-apartment scenes and apart from the dreams-made-real plot its quite down to...

Was channel hopping recently and The Curse of the Mummys Tomb (1964) was on Talking Pictures TV. This strongly reminded me of The Return of the Cybernauts. When the mummy enters the library it really resembles it, even to the design of the room....

I always liked this episode. Is it a classic? No. However how they get involved in the case makes way more sense than a lot of the episodes and the plot is logical.

I actually like it better than Death of a Great Dane and that's because of changing...

Steed did realise pretty much straight away something was up. I was going to say that Croft treated Forbes badly, he rants and raves about him being drunk and blames him for the whole mess without evidence but now I think about it, it could be...

They're definitely meant to insurgents from a foreign power, but it is understated.

Watched Epic again, I remember last time I saw how much I liked it more than I thought I did. This time around it didn't really work for me.
This must be the silliest episode of them all. Yes there are charming Steed/Peel moments and there is a...

It was probably prop sugar glass for the shot and real glass most of the rest of the time

Yes that makes perfect sense

Thanks as always!!

Whatever imperfections one can find an criticisms one can have; DEAD MAN'S TREASURE could only have been on The Avengers. Fifty minutes of charming fun in a fancy-full but not fantastical world. Unlike for instance MURDERSVILLE it does not have a...

One of my favourite closing scenes.
It is utterly charming. Wouldn't it be funny if Steed's subconscious doodlings resulted in JS + CG though... :D

It's a 10 for me. It's a great deal of fun, even if sometimes it gets a bit goofy.

I gave 7

initially, EONS ago, I gave it a 3...re watching it recently, I'll upgrade it to a ' 7 '....

Is it known why Flemyng was removed?

Despite having directed The Fear Merchants, Flemying was discribed by Brian Clemens as not being an Avengers director, which could just about mean anything. All I can think of is that Flemyng fell behind with...

As this one was at the bottom of the pile and no one had commented on it for 6 years, I thought I'd make this my next watch. I'm quite enjoying choosing the episode at the bottom of a season and watching it. It's probably that long since I've seen...

Incidentally, I take issue with series 5 being described in the topic header as Emma's glory days and series 4 as her formative year .

The black and white Emma episodes are much more mature and less formulaic and repetitive (or to put it less...

This one is difficult to judge for me as I missed it in taping it and only got to see it once I bought the DVD's. It stands out for me from the other Peel colours.

I would say nice plot idea, but badly executed. As TAF notes the names are messed up...

She was certainly one of the many actresses screen-tested. I didn't hear about how they were ranked, though (if at all).

Crazy, ridiculous episode, with a paper-thin plot, but I love every minute of it. The conversation between Steed and Brodny is hilarious, as are the scenes with Roy Kinnear. There's a playfulness in the whole episode that's quite endearing -...

Wasn't Emma watching the Cybernauts in this episode at the start? That sort of makes you feel it's all a joke as such as how could she be rewatching the events of that episode if it was real life? Christopher Lee's Frank N. Stone was not lost on me...

I can't say I noticed any little holes in the plot, but I suppose, with the number of times the great bouncy ball scene occurs, they just had to cut something else! The scenes are funny each time and Clive Dunn is good. It's a pity, though, that...

...With it being credited as 'from an idea' by Alan Pattillo, I wonder if he actually wrote a script that Didn't work and needed rewriting.
I've just watched this episode with the introduction by Brian Clemens who confirms exactly that... Pattillo...

8/10

Another favourite.

My problem is its lack of originality, being more or less the exact same plot as Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians novel.

This is one of just 3 or 4 episodes that stuck in my memory long after watching it on first broadcast in my pre-teen...

Not the biggest fan of the colour Emma Peel era, but this one is quirky enough that I've always enjoyed it! Same with Murdersville.
