I've resisted downloading the ebook and will wait for the softback. It's right up my street! :D

That is quite a revelation about Barbara Shelley.

If you read further you’ll come across quite a few more revelations!
It shows they were thinking about a female co-star even before the end of season one.

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..?
Darren

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.

The problems regarding a lack of TOC encountered with ebook versions of Bowler Hats and Kinky Boots has now been resolved as from now on (I’d give it a couple of days) Kindle and Nook ebook versions will have a Table of Contents.

Unfortunately the printed copies will take somewhat longer than I was advised and so it will take at least a couple of weeks, which is most disappointing to me as I was obviously looking forward to getting them out there.

I have good news. The paperback version of Bowler Hats and Kinky Boots is now available on Amazon USA.

The not so good news is that it will be a few more days before it becomes available on Amazon UK, but I will keep you informed regarding this.

So coming up in the next few days and weeks I forcast that there will be a vast amount of previoisly unknown things to discuss here on The Avengers International Fan Forum.

Please let know your views and opinions.

Thanks very much for the information.

How about Telos themselves? Does the same apply to them as to Amazon UK?
