The Midas Touch and House of Cards (on at this moment), don't look any different to the Contender release.
I've just noticed in House of Cards that Purdey and Gambit drive through the village from the Movie (and Vicar of Dibley).

They printed the script in The Avengers and Me and claimed it was filmed, but I've always wondered if it actually was.
better than you would have expected...Darren wrote:It's amazing that these original titles have never properly come to light - I suppose that were the NA's to get a proper restoration, the titles might be uncovered somewhere.
I watched the second half of Last of the Cybernauts..? yesterday, there's some really great Purdey and Gambit scenes in that one.
Last of the Cybernauts..? was one of the first New Avengers that I saw, on video with Eagles Nest and I didn't really go for it so I haven't watched it as often as much of the rest of the series. You forget things and I really loved the dualogues between the two characters.mousemeat wrote:better than you would have expected...Darren wrote:It's amazing that these original titles have never properly come to light - I suppose that were the NA's to get a proper restoration, the titles might be uncovered somewhere.

Definitely. Last of has always been my favourite of the Cybernauts trilogy, and I think it's down to the Purdey/Gambit interactions more than anything.Darren wrote:Last of the Cybernauts..? was one of the first New Avengers that I saw, on video with Eagles Nest and I didn't really go for it so I haven't watched it as often as much of the rest of the series.

They're always a highlight of the series even in awful episodes like The Gladiators.
well, even 'bad' avengers (from any era) is usually much better than current fare on the tube..in my opinion.Timeless A-Peel wrote:Definitely.

perhaps it wasn't included in the right to re broadcast episodes...or simply an oversight..Tara46 wrote:I notice that ITV4 are moving onto Series 2 tomorrow with the episode "The Hostage" followed by "The Trap" & "Dead Men Are Dangerous". So what has happened to the episode "Target" from Series 1? This is one of my favourite episodes. I hope they show it at some point.
Hmm, I think by shuffling the episodes about they've might have dropped one (if you pardon the expression). If their repeats of The Saint are anything to go by they'll be on a loop anyway.Tara46 wrote:I notice that ITV4 are moving onto Series 2 tomorrow with the episode "The Hostage" followed by "The Trap" & "Dead Men Are Dangerous".
