Hmm, I'm not sure I got "The Forget Me Knot" corrected. Presumably that came in the same box as the other Tara episodes (season 6), or with seaosn 5 (which I did get corrected)?

If it's confined to the final box, and retail copes are now OK, then I'll probably just buy it again and return the broken set.

What a saga! It's been a convoluted problem equal to any of Steed's and Emma's.

Finally got my corrected special features disc. I found the Avengers locations segment quite interesting. Many of the locations have hardly changed in over 40 years. Exterior of Mrs Peel's flat in season 4 is identical. Great to see Tara's road and Steed's mews today with only slight changes.

Haven't watched all of this disc yet. What did people think of Diana's mini-series and her short film :?: Rich.

Could anybody post the actual adresses of the 10 locations?

Cos they do not appear on screen.

Been to Tara's flat lots of times over the years. I love the park up on the street :D

I absolutely adore Mini-Killers. It's so cheesy but cool at the same time. Very much a product of its time.

Mind you, I would say that as the prints used are my own! :)

I'm pleased these films have been included on Avengers discs where they seem very 'at home'.

Best to visit the Avengerland website - all the addresses should be there.
