That's one of the main things I don't like about TNA--no tags. I found it very jarring that things just ended, and when you came back from commercial, you only had the credits to watch. Some episodes have sort of pseudo-tags, but it's not the same.

Pretty much how the Cathy Gale series worked as well.

I think the tags worked a lot better than the endings in Season 5 where, in a sense, the tags were at the beginning with the Mrs Peel we're needed sequences. The latter were dropped for the final episodes which suggest that Clemens wasn't happy with them.

I actually quite liked the 'Mrs. Peel, we're needed' bits at the beginning

Actually, my favourite tag scene from the colour seasons is from one of my least favourite episodes - 'The Superlative Seven'. I just love how they shoot and the teddy bear and the glasses fall out of the air - pure Avengers as was 'Mrs Peel - We're Needed' which disappeared which was a big pity ! :(

I liked them too. It was a fun way to start off the episodes but too bad they were cut from the later ones.

Oh, I like that one too! Couldn't remember the episode--I hardly watch that one. And I missed the "We're Needed" tags as well. I thought they were clever bits of fun, and when I first watched I was terribly disappointed that they cut them later on.

I think my favorite tag may be the "shall we dance?" at the end of Quick, Quick, Slow Death

Brilliant! Oh, why didn't they film alternate scenes - what great DVD extras they'd have made!

How true...if only they filmed alternative scenes...problem being, would the extra footage be around today ? Lookng at the history of the show on both VHS and DVD, how lacking they are with extra scenes, out takes, commentaries, and more...Very skimpy..

perhaps the extra material, has been lost to the mists of time...(?)

Me too! I thought they were great. A real shame they cut them out of the later episodes..
