Th Avengers

[andy-hughes]

I am still really enjoying the re-runs of The Avengers.

I love the camp backdrops with 'Mother' and the impeccable manners and gorgeous suits of Steed.

But most of all I remain captivated by just how beautiful Linda Thorsen was as a young woman.

Patrick MacNee advised she was the most attractive woman he had ever met, and it's not hard to see why!

She is still stunning today, in her seventies, but then, she was just captivating.

It's great to re-live my youth with these old series - I am pretty sure UFO is coming back as well, so I can enjoy that all over again.

Anyone else re-living their past with re-runs of old series on TV?

// the Hellfire Club episode outfit would raise temperatures now, never mind back then!//
voted the best episode sometime

somewhat homo-erotic - Sir half way Cleverley gets done in real life for offence in a mens lavatory and wrecks his career. Boy prisoner in a FE internment camp.
The Butler is a stunt man who doesnt quite make it (unlike andie serkis A stunt man who DOES make it ) Yje cupboard he puts his fist froo - you can see it is the second take and they have patched up the hole
and I took up judo not realising Diana RIgg was throwing stunt men around in a pre arranged fashion = the scene in the cellar is good

Linda Thorson tame by comparison

It's nothing of the kind!

Because an actor - Peter Wyngarde is arrested for action in his private life, that does not remotely connect with his role in a TV series - I do wonder how your mind works.
