The Avengers Page 4

Tonight's with Linda Thorson has a young Warren Clarke. Very (physically) fit looking - i.e. he looks slim. Plus Lucy Fleming from Survivors.

And a very topical reference to Wellington at Waterloo.

What channel was it on?

It's on True Entertainment (Station 61 freeview) every evening 8-9 after M*A*S*H.

Thanks! Sadly, not part of my Virgin Media M+ package - would need to pay more and upgrade to XL.

Surely if it's Freeview you can access it? Just switch your Sky off and turn on the TV.

Nope, would still need a Freeview box.

Tonight's featured uncredited Jimmy Clitheroe as well as Stratford Johns as Sidney Street and Ronald Lacey as Humbert Green chasing the Green Falcon Key.

Sidney Greenstreet of course featured in the Maltese Falcon.

Depends how old your TV set is.

Most TV sets sold nowadays have got built-in digital Freeeview.

Well that's weird - last night we watched "The Velvet Touch" I recorded (must be 2 years ago) that had Sidney Greenstreet in it as the police Captain.

Usually prefer UK post war B&W films, but it was quite good.

Penelope Keith playing "Auntie Audrey" tonight.

It's roughly this old.

Do they make huge cuts in episodes? Being the purist that I am, I'd have to watch from Season One onwards, strictly, in order. No compromises.

They're showing the Emma Peel ones - black and white.

I know what you mean.

So, no Dr David Keel/Ian Hendry then? I think that it had a different feel then though, less 'kitsch' and with more grit and drama.

My stepfather had a bit of a thing for Diana Rigg and used to watch them on C4 when they broadcast selected series in the 80s.
