Dutch channel ONS showing The Avengers

Post by Allard »

Dutch TV channel ONS (the Netherlands' equivalent to Talking Pictures TV) has recently started showing De Wrekers, that's Dutch for The Avengers.

Very interesting, they are showing all the episodes (except series one), which makes it the first time (that to my knowledge) the pre-Emma Peel episodes are broadcast on Dutch TV.

I happen not to receive this channel, but it was pointed out to me.

Wow, great news, Allard!!! I have just researched the entire broadcast period of The Avengers in the Netherlands and the result is the following:

1. KRO (1966 - 1971) Emma and Tara episodes

More details about this period posted still only at Steedumbrella: http://steedumbrella.ru/tv_premieres_Netherlands.html

2. KRO (1974 - 1975) Emma (color) and Tara episodes

3. KRO (1984) color Emma episodes

4. Veronica (1993) color Emma episodes

5. Veronica (1995) Emma (color) and Tara episodes

6. Veronica, channel RTL5 (1997) color Emma episodes

7. TV10 (1997 - 1998) ? only 6 episodes

8. KRO (2003-2004) color Emma episodes

Despite the fact that I did not find the information that episodes transmitted exactly by TV10, I'm almost sure that ONS really does the first broadcast of the early Avengers episodes in the Netherlands. Well, Wikipedia.nl refers to the fact that episodes from TV10 were reruns and there are no memories on the Internet from people who would have watched earlier episodes in the Netherlands before (be it forums, groups, etc.).

By the way, last year opened a new website (in Dutch): http://theavengers.clubs.nl/

On moment, this list is a complete set of TV runs of The Avengers in the Netherlands, not counting from ONS. :wink:

Yesterday, I did an update on Steedmblella regarding the current TV run of the early Avengers episodes.

I have a few questions for Dutch fans, so this might be for Allard.

Were the Dutch titles on screen, or just in the TV guides? They seem slightly variable in the newspaper listings and I notice that it says the episodes had Dutch subtitles rather than being dubbed.

I've found on 12/12/1967 some paper list "De autorally" (Dead Man's Treasure), but several others list "De vreesaanjagers", which I take to be The Fear Merchants - although that episode does later appear (9/8/1969) under the title "Handel in angst".

Could "De vreesaanjagers" have been The Dangermakers?

Also, the original Cybernauts story seems to not have been shown, as several listings for "De robot" on 2/12/1967 refer to Beresford in the summary, which makes it "Return of the Cybernauts".

This is what I've collated, many dates and several titles are corrections for previously reported Netherlands TX.

The New Avengers in the Netherlands:

(De Terugkeer van de Wrekers , also called De Nieuwe Wrekers or just De Wrekers by some newspapers)

Capitalisation was all over the place in the listings. Do some areas use more capitals because of a larger German-speaking population?

Target! (Doelwit) was originally scheduled for 18 November 1976 but made way for some exciting... parliamentary debates.
According to one paper, the KRO & N2 phone lines were jammed with people wanting to know what had happened to The New Avengers.

How can they pre-empt the best episode!!! I hope they showed it later in the run and didn't just drop it (whatever the official listings say).

What episode is De M van Moord?

Never fear, "Target!" was put in at the end of the first series on 30 December 1976, just before "Dirtier by the Dozen" which screened on 6 January 1977.

"De M van Moord" is K is for Kill, parts 1 and 2 and the same title.

The second series was preceded by four repeats from series 1 - obviously the Dutch programmers' favourites - and ours as well, I think!

They were:

"Target!", "Three Handed Game", "Sleeper", and ... oh, "Gnaws" ....

So close!

I think I'm done with the Euro TX, other nations were ever worse than Germany at showing the episodes and mostly didn't show more than a smattering before 1983 so I can't in all conscience consider them contemporary TX.

(In Germany they abruptly cancelled The New Avengers due to concerns about screen violence. "Tale of the Big Why" was scheduled for 27 July 1978 but never shown, and no more episodes were screened. And this was after only showing 10 of the 32 Tara episodes.)

Stupid really because any Germany viewers near the Swiss, Dutch, Belgian or French (and probably Austrian) borders could have tuned in anyway, the newspaper regularly list each countries' broadcasts.
