The Avengers

[andy-hughes]

I am so enjoying the re-runs of the original (well the Emma Peel ones) Avengers series.

The noticeable differences are the wonderful manners that Steed always used, and the daringly original outfits worn by Mrs Peel (he only called her Emma when they finally parted).

It's just wonderful television - and I hope they follow it with another complete re-run of The Champions.

That way, I go straight from my very first teenage crush, straight on to my second – Alexandra Bastedo, surely one of the most beautiful women ever to appear on television.

That eye make-up! WOW!!

Have to agree.

I still don't understand the fuss about Helen Mirren though!!

Caroline Munro from the Lamb's Navy rum was very damaging to the eyesight:-)

I'm enjoying the series but I do wish they would get the cast to match the episode. The last 3 have been Cast-listed for the previous 3 I watched. I love the technology of the 70s - Scientific instrument panels with lamps the size of Jampot lids - Panel switches which would make circuits work on the National Grid and always the ubiquitous Cathode Ray Tube showing the standard sinewave. Unbeatable... Linda Thorson's a bit of alright too !
