I'm not sure exactly what this is, is someone putting all the South African radio plays up?

Seems to be copies of Alan's Avengers radio archive with lead in commentary. Given the history of the series, I doubt there would be copyright holders out there looking to take it down, it was never an official Avengers product so Studio Canal will have no claim.

Whoever it is introducing - the commercials are nowhere near as interesting as the scripts (and performances)!

OK - this is really a weird and very 2024 find - AI-enhanced versions of the radio plays:

An unshaven Steed? Perish the thought!

It does make one think that Artificial "Intelligence" isn't actually... intelligent.
If you gave a human artist the brief of painting Steed, if they researched the actual character, they'd be unlikely to get his persona so wrong.
Is AI really... whisper it... a bit thick?
