I hope they show the recently discovered Tunnel of fear in the near future.

I'm afraid Digiguide's programme summaries have been getting progressively worse recently. I had been a subscriber to the Windows App since 2008 but decided not to renew this year.

True Entertainment are now screening second season episodes. It has been quite a few years since the videotaped episodes were transmitted in the UK, but True have been promoting these episodes quite heavily, having previously shown the filmed episodes on several occasions.

I wonder if they have edited them, like they did with some Prisoner episodes (to remove the drinking of alcohol, and some blood from a sword injury) - I noted in my review of Bullseye on "The Avengers Forever" that Cathy smoked a lot, but I don't think that was the case in the version of the episode they showed.
Last watched: "The Charmers"

Franky

Having watched them all on DVD over the past few years, I'm not watching them unless I just happen to catch one before The Man from UNCLE double bill. Perhaps someone else who is watching regularly can give us this information?
