I thought about Stay Tuned briefly...

Actually I'd like to add a third, My Wildest Dream - Philip Levene's departure from the show and Robert Fuest's directorial debut.

Noted, Darren.
It would be great to get some people onboard who weren't involved in the first book such as Marcus Hearn. I asked Henry Holland but he wasn't confident about his writing skills which is a shame as I loved his commentary of Mandrake.

Ah. I think I can see more phallic instruments emanating from Circe!

I just hope I did not hit anyone over the head with these instruments. 8) Oh and when you mentioned Steed without a gun so true but he is more potent than anyone with that brollie! I though about Who was that man I saw you with but I see Timeless will no doubt do a brilliant job with that one. The villain in that one--well he was just girly! I was envious of his nails and tailor as well.

sorry to ask the same question but you and your dad watched Takeover and thought it was a makeover of what Emma Peel episode?

we did watch it together but it didn't remind us of a Peel episode. My father thought it was deadly slow, more like a stage play and lacking Avengerish light humour and charm. I still like it though!

thanks. I thought it reminded him of something else. The more i look at them the more I miss your dad's complexities in these Tara episodes.

Would agree with that - always thought it felt more like a precursor to Clemens' Thriller series than an Avengers episode.
