The Avengers International Fan Forum

According to my Radio Times, The Avengers will be showing daily on True Entertainment (Freeview 61 Freesat 142) from 5th January 2015! (No info regarding which season, except to say it will be b&w.)

Thanks for finding this, Barbara Excellent news.
My DigiGuide suggests that it may feature the first complete series with Ian Hendry as Dr David Keel.
Yet Locate TV suggests from the accompanying picture that it could be the 5th Steed/Peel colour series.

This is the best information I can find via DigiGuide programme guide which may, or may not, be accurate. Lets hope True Entertainment have obtained the rights to show the entire Avengers run.

The Avengers
True Entertainment
Monday 5th January 2015
8.00-9.00pm

The original Avengers series and the first not to have been lost. Follow the suave British spy Dr. David Keel and his charismatic female assistants take on the nebulous world of crime and espionage.
DigiGuide

Yes well spotted. Out of interest, on which page of the Radio Times is it mentioned?

Nice to see they really know what they're talking about. Strewth!

Great to see the show revived on telly. Always good when the show's in the public eye. Won't be watching myself. More than happy with the DVDs and Blu-rays.

Mind you, if it's the complete David Keel episodes...

Only in the True Entertainment listings themselves on e.g. page 79 and 89, (Looks like there's an 11am showing too from Tues 6th.).

feel the same way.....love it when people 'discover' the episodes

Haven't seen anything Avengers-ish yet on live TV this Xmas, but once again got the DVD out and watched Too Many Xmas Trees, as one does. SO a Merrier Christmas to you all Ho, ho, Ho ! Love those sixties suits the guys have and narrow ties... they all look a bit earlier than 1966 ... but then what do I know? I was too busy trying to get grease stains out of my school caps and blazer at the time to notice trendy changes in in the width of ties....

Thanks Barbara. I thought you meant the current - bumper Christmas - edition. I hadn't realised the Radio Times for the week after that was out yet.

Digiguide lists The Avengers as showing every Monday to Friday at 20:00 and (from Tues 6th) at 11:00, which will almost certainly be a repeat of the previous day's episode. I'll keep an eye open for the full listing details.


UPDATE: I've just popped out to the shops and can't find anywhere selling the Radio Times for the week after next, you must have inside information Barbara The RT website has this:

No, just a subscription that brings each issue through my letterbox early.
