Thanks for finding this, Barbara
Excellent news.
My DigiGuide suggests that it may feature the first complete series with Ian Hendry as Dr David Keel.
Yet Locate TV suggests from the accompanying picture that it could be the 5th Steed/Peel colour series.
This is the best information I can find via DigiGuide programme guide which may, or may not, be accurate. Lets hope True Entertainment have obtained the rights to show the entire Avengers run.

Great to see the show revived on telly. Always good when the show's in the public eye. Won't be watching myself. More than happy with the DVDs and Blu-rays.
Mind you, if it's the complete David Keel episodes...

Once again it's Trees!
Haven't seen anything Avengers-ish yet on live TV this Xmas, but once again got the DVD out and watched Too Many Xmas Trees, as one does. SO a Merrier Christmas to you all
Ho, ho, Ho ! Love those sixties suits the guys have and narrow ties... they all look a bit earlier than 1966 ... but then what do I know? I was too busy trying to get grease stains out of my school caps and blazer at the time to notice trendy changes in in the width of ties....

Thanks Barbara. I thought you meant the current - bumper Christmas - edition. I hadn't realised the Radio Times for the week after that was out yet.bhdaviesuk wrote:Only in the True Entertainment listings themselves on e.g. page 79 and 89, (Looks like there's an 11am showing too from Tues 6th.).Ian Wegg wrote:Yes well spotted.

Digiguide lists The Avengers as showing every Monday to Friday at 20:00 and (from Tues 6th) at 11:00, which will almost certainly be a repeat of the previous day's episode. I'll keep an eye open for the full listing details.
UPDATE: I've just popped out to the shops and can't find anywhere selling the Radio Times for the week after next, you must have inside information Barbara
