This series has a wonderful freshness to it and a terrific colour palette which no doubt will look gorgeous after it's remastering. It's also the series with lots of location footage which adds a great deal of depth to the stories. I'm completely biased though as i love Linda Thorson and that marvellous summery opening title sequence (with IMHO the best variant of the theme music!)

Roll on December 6th

Totally agree!

Although I think I do prefer the original shooting gallery titles, love your
avatar by the way!

[pauljwyatt]

Thank you the avatar is a still from the animated titles for one of the features on the Complete Avengers 50th anniversary box set which i helped with

[norw27]

Thought it might be, I'll be looking forward to that then as I loved your series four animation.

[darren]

It looks superb, Paul.

After season 3, this has been my most anticipated boxset. Can't wait especially to hear commentaries from directors Fuest and Hough.

[pauljwyatt]

Thanks very much chaps.
There's lots of little Avenger styled animated "stings" and idents on that release - hope you like them

As for series six ... i particularly love Tara's completely off the wall flat. I'm not sure about the shocking pink carpets but i love the rest of it. I moved to London as a teen thinking everyone lived in places like that. I ended up on a council estate in Barking. I was wrong

Yes, it's getting very close to December 6th now, and there's no sign of the release date being "shunted back" again.
So it's looking good for a feast of watching remastered Tara episodes over the Christmas & New Year holidays.

That's my reason to buy, right there.

They of course both went on to work on Children of the Stones.
