I got the surviving episodes of series 1 and the second series of this for Christmas. Looking forward to watching them, I've never seen any of them before.
The Avengers Page 3
Just watched the two suriving episodes starring Ian Hendry from the first series. The first- Girl on a Trapeez was very good, but the second, The Frighteners, was very poor.
Now moving into the Macnee/Blackman era. I hope I like it.
So - the 50th anniversary this year. And around my birthday too.
You can have a whip round for me if you like - especially with Emma Peel.
I assumed the series tailed off after Diana Rigg's exit but after seeing a few Linda Thorson episodes a few years back, I was surprised how good she was and the quality seems to have been maintained.
Did I hear there is going to be another crack at an Avengers movie?
Hope they get Rachel Stirling to play her mum's role.
The Avengers Anniversary Celebration this coming weekend.
They had incredible casts.
Peter Cushing is on tonight's episode. Last week there was one with Charlotte Rampling, Brian Blessed and Donald Sutherland. The week before Christopher Lee was the villain.
Also tonight the lovely Aimi McDonald and I think that was Fulton McKay.

You guys and your adoration of classic ladies 
The Avengers is good though and it does include some cracking roles for us gals. I like the odd and eerie feel of many of the black and white episodes. My Stepfather was a fan back in the day and had the accompanying book - I seem to recall that Linda Thorson admitted to being 'ten-and-a-half-stone' and found the love scenes difficult as a result!?
Love scenes? What love scenes?

I bet they got up to *all sorts* under Steed's eiderdown.
And tonight's featured Cardew Robinson and Cecil Parker.
Arthur Lowe tonight but I fear he'll be bumped off!
Great show-Bonkers- but in a good way. I love how strong a character Emma is portrayed. In any other 60s series of this ilk, she would be screaming and waiting for Steed to rescue her. However, she is beautiful, but smart, witty, and able to kick the hell out of any amount of men. She never loses her cool and she IS cool. A feminist icon years ahead of her time.

I think she was the second woman I fell in love with without really knowing why. Apart from the fact that she was/is? beautiful.

I love this show and would much rather have Steed than Bond any day.
