Lovely chapter from Margo on Take-Over with more psychoanalytical phallic symbols. Over half of the chapters are now in. Please keep them coming.

Would say that TA had more perversity than any other series of its kind.
In fact any benign phallic symbol gets grotesquely transformed into the most perverse of tools. Death becomes an art form. The murder weapons really do tell us a great deal about the diabolical master's mind and their deranged fantasies. Whether they are radio-detonated phosphorus bomb neck implants, bleepers with poison pens, or just the simplicity of a knitting needle. Brilliant writers indeed!

I use 'season' throughout the books because it allows one to differentiate between the entire run of the show - the series - and each individual run - season.

Better check my usage in my chapters, I tend to use series and show rather than season and series.

I will check! I've also added the following explanation to my Anticlockwise preface:

There has been some questioning by readers of my use of ‘season’ rather than ‘series’ to define each era or run of The Avengers. After all, in the UK each vintage was originally called a ‘series’. However, given that the show, in its entirety, is a television series, I prefer to use the more clearcut or unambiguous term ‘season’, and it seems to naturally fit the idea of a programme which was constantly changing.

Seasons is my preferred term for all my favourite programmes.

24 of the 33 episodes now in. Lots of well balanced reviews and plenty of support for the diverse Season 6.

Unfortunately I can't get hold of Frankymole at all and am therefore in need of writers for his chapters.

Any takers with just a calendar month to turn it around?

Having recently had to take on two more, I'm only willing to add one final one myself. And if I tackle Thingumajig the material will be unprintable.
