It's nice to see Godfrey Quigley again (the Avengers' first villain actor!)

This was recorded the day JFK was assassinated, so perhaps the hornbill's sad demise didn't receive as much coverage as it could have...

I said, girl I'm just a vampire for your love

A chance sighting of a photograph from The Kiss of the Vampire made me realise that the actor playing Goliath in Death of a Batman is the wrestler Stan Simmons, which would explain his flying leap over the counter in the florist's shop.

Death at Bargain Prices gets bigger cast photos for all those extras in the background - it nearly killed me! Just as well I did as I spotted series regular Tony Mendelssohn, so he has been added. It is also revised with quotations and footnotes and additional trivia.

Dressing up to touch all this

Dressed To Kill turns sixty today! Brian Clemens' riveting plot about an enemy spy using the cover of a costume party to buy up land around early warning stations is a highlight of series 3 and so good it was re-made several times in various forms. Visit if you haven't already to enjoy the expanded new style and updated cast photos.

Perhaps my favourite episode in the videotaped series. I used to watch it every New Year's Eve. With some well-known comedy names for their time who could also play straight roles, like John Junkin and Leonard Rossiter.

I would have to concur...about being one of the best of the video taped era....damn, it seems so long ago..lol

Man, where's your dignity? Castle De’Ath is revised in the new format, with any wee cast photos replaced by full main gud ones, and quotations and footnotes added the the plot outline. Also a wee snippet or two about trivial matters. I couldn't decide on the best video, so here's two this time, one authentically dour, then other with the more well known lyrics:

A superb story, a little bit From Russia With Love, a lot The Ipcress File, with great performances by the whole cast.
