again, thanks for the additional data....looking over previous posts to this thread, a huge body of work...I doubt any web site / fan page/etc has as much detailed info pertaining to a show / actors / etc...unless I'm wrong...

I think with some of the topics we are moving well with the Doctor Who fanbase.

yes, I would concur with that opinion...keeping in mind, The good Doctor and his series, had a far longer run than the Avengers....

I just found out that for some unknown reason the actress Pearl Catlin's account on Twitter no longer exists.

https://twitter.com/PearlCatlin

She was active on the mentioned social network for a long time and her account recently existed when I checked it out. Alas, she long ago abandoned her account on Facebook, so now Pearl will be listed without being linked to any social network in the list of this topic.

Stuntman Steve Emerson added to the "Unconfirmed and unidentified" paragraph. According to 1970 Film/TV Action Directory, he did stunts in The Avengers.

The name Leslie Soden has been moved to a new paragraph "Those who were attached to the filming, but were not used or were not included in the final cut".

Resume

This was mentioned in the newspaper Marylebone Mercury (12 April 1968), that Beryl participated in The Avengers.

Beryl Martin was an expert at water ski-ing and stunt performer, participated in James Bond films and TV.

Birthname: Beryl Wells.
Born: July 1934 in Eton, Buckinghamshire, England, UK.
Married on Reuben Joseph Martin (strongman) in 1952. Sons: Kevin and Martin. Reub, like Beryl, participated in films and TV.

In the middle 1950s, Reub opened a small rugged upstairs gym in North London, reputed to be the ultimate U.K. hardcore training facility. He and Beryl toured night clubs and cruise ship circuits for the following 20 years. Their popular stage presentation was a combination of strength and comedy. Later, they managed Tough Guys Film Stunt Agency, which specialized in strongmen and stuntmen featured in television and films.
