I've resisted downloading the ebook and will wait for the softback. It's right up my street!
That is quite a revelation about Barbara Shelley.
If you read further you’ll come across quite a few more revelations!
I would imagine that there's more info to be gleaned for the later seasons due to more people available to talk to and production documentation..?
Yes, I've not done too badly as over the years I have managed to talk with, exchange both correspondence and emails with a large amount of people who worked on The Avengers, The New Avengers and the 1998 feature film.
Mick Audsley, Roy Ward Baker, Duncan Barbour, Richard Bates, Jeremy Burnham, Michael Chapman, Cyd Child, Brian Clemens, Jennifer Croxton, Peter Duffell, Cyril Frankel, John Hough, Gareth Hunt, Don Leaver, Patrick Macnee, Frank Maher, Roger Marshall, Rhonda Parker, Ron Purdie, Jon Rollason, Dennis Spooner, Julie Stevens, Robert Banks Stewart, Brian Tesler, Linda Thorson & Tony Williamson.
Unfortunately, some of these people are no longer with us and so I'm grateful that I met Gareth (twice), interviewed Roy and exchanged quite a bit of correspondence with Tony.
