Just seen Steed and Keel suited up ready to Avenge. They look and sound perfect.

It's an audio series. With all due respect to Mr Dorney, who cares how they look? We already have plenty of photos of the real Steed and Keel.

But an audio series has associated publicity, covers, etc, so it does help...

True, fair enough. I shall do my best to ignore such pictures though

Knowing how he used to get typecast as doctors (whether vets, or GPs, or time travellers) I bet Peter Davison is playing Dr Keel

The photo shoot is up! Anthony Howell is Keel, Julian Wadham is Steed:

I've pondered the picture for awhile, and I think they've done pretty well. Keel in particular works well, I think. But what they look like is secondary to how they'll sound. Quite excited to have a Dirk Gently alumnus in there to balance out the Who--Howell played the ill-fated Gordon Way. I shall have to give it a relisten to recall what he sounds like. Wadham is a complete unknown entity to me, but that's probably just as well.

Looks interesting and encouraging, of course it's all about the sound and the writing but John Dorney's a good writer so it should be okay. And I don't imagine that two such useful-looking actors would have been cast if they had weird voices!

Very good news!

I'm not familiar with either of these actors. However, as those that are seem quite pleased, it looks like a good choice.

Big finish have announced the third episode is Square Root of Evil, so the first three episodes will be the same as the TV series. Sadly (as far as I know) scripts don't survive for the TV episodes 4,5 and 7), so I wonder whether the fourth episode will be TV episode 8 - The Radioactive Man?

Still no Carol Wilson news, though, oddly enough. Is she still to come?

For anyone who wants a preview of what Anthony Howell sounds like, I really recommend the Dirk Maggs adaptation of Dirk Gently. Though I suspect Keel won't spend the majority of his time as a ghost.

The actress playing Carol is being announced next week.

Worth mentioning that The Avengers Declassified now has a section about the Big Finish audiobooks which will document and present up to date news about the releases, with the co-operation of the likes of producer David Richardson and writer John Dorney.

Oh, good. I was worried that she somehow got lost in the shuffle after the Steed/Keel announcement.
