Great picture - thanks for sharing. I'm really fascinated by this stage play and the character of Hannah Wild. It would have been great to have seen it in the theatre. Hopefully one day Big Finish might record it as an audio book, so at least we would have the opportunity to hear it.

Aren't there rumblings of an Avengers musical stage show doing the rounds?

Yes, I heard some rumours about an Avengers stage musical. I have to admit I'm in two minds about it as musicals really aren't my thing! However, if it does get the go ahead and is done well, it could be interesting and help bring the show at a wider audience.

At the newly re-homed The Avengers Declassified: the Stage Show Photo Gallery has just been updated. I've been meaning to do this for some time, so apologies for holding onto the images as I tracked them down.

The upside is that this delay means that I have been able to add an incredible 15 new images that are rarely seen as well as improve the larger versions of a good number of ones that were already on the page.

Don't forget to click the photo thumbnails to see larger, full frame versions!

Amazing!!

Some of the costumes are quite, err, interesting... not sure "Fantasy Masochist" is totally on point for The Avengers, but then again it is very kinky. And I'm sure keen equestrian Steed appreciated the stirrups.

In a couple of shots, e.g. flourishing the pistol, Sue Lloyd looks a lot like Joanna Lumley in the early Purdey press calls before her haircut.

Glad they're of interest! Thank you.

NB, Frankymole, the 'Fantasy Masochist' name - in case you are wondering - is from the stage show souvenir programme, not my invention.

Today, the stage show press section has been redesigned and updated:
