Re: Ray Austin 1932-2023
A fellow I felt would go on forever.
How lucky we are to have his work - both stunt, and directing, equally excellent at both.
RIP.

I often saw his name as stunt arranger after watching another great episode. We were lucky he worked on the show. R.I.P.

What a sad piece of news. A talented man in his field who had a great career. In the past couple of years, so many greats passing away in their 90s

Ray Austin, George Bernard Shaw and The Avengers Connection.
Could Shaw's Epifania been an influence on The Avengers women?
From The Millionairess written in 1936 by George Bernard Shaw
EPIFANIA. His boxing fascinated me. My father held that women should be able to defend themselves. He made me study Judo.
SAGAMORE. Judo? Do you mean Hebrew?
EPIFANIA. Hebrew! Nonsense! Judo is what ignorant people call jujitsu. I could throw you through that window as easily as you handed me that rotten chair.
SAGAMORE. Oh! Japanese wrestling. Rather a rough sport for a lady, isnt it?
EPIFANIA. How dare you call Judo a sport? It is a religion.
From the 1960 movie version with Ray Austin in for Dennis Price.
