● Alternate UK opening and closing credits

That one really awakes my curiosity.

Overall a very good package of extras.

This is going to be very special. And the animated UK advert bumpers too? Not seen those since I was a kid.

Thanks to Jaz and all concerned. What an interesting and exciting year this is going to be for Avengers fans.

Fantastic set of extras on the boxset.

Roy Ward Baker must be in his 90's..? Great to get both him and Brian Clemens on such a top episode.

The colour footage is intriguing, though I'm never convinced by them. Sure it'll be an interesting curio.

What a coup to get an interview with Elizabeth Shepherd (she left a comment under a Youtube video of The Corridor People asking for a copy once). How was it conducted? She lives in Canada now doesn't she?

Wow impressive extra's. This year certainly is going to be amazing Avengers wise, things just keep getting better!

This is just fantastic! There are so many things here I wasn't expecting, I don't know where to start. Suffice to say, I'm a very happy fan.

I was lucky enough to be in the London sound studio where this was recorded via telephone link to the USA where Elizabeth lives. She was on great form and had plenty of vivid memories, and plenty to say.

Needless to say, people will have to wait until the DVD set is released to find out what, as my lips are sealed!

I can't wait. I love these tantalising glimpses into the what might have been.

She's brilliant in The Corridor People, a real presence. If only the episode existed......

I agree. Once The Avengers gets a release on Blu-ray, I will definitely invest in a player. The Avengers is the deciding factor for me.
