Your Love of this Classic Jewel of the Golden Age of TV is contagious...I own them on remastered DVD's. And yes, Mrs. Peel... You're needed...Oh how much you are missed🍷
Thanks for your comment. Canada and USA were light years ahead in technology back then especially colour series. On the upside many colour shows wiped in the UK were saved by Canada (Doomwatch series 2) and were screened in Colour and returned. It is shameful what we wiped in the UK. Dont know uf in Canada you ever got a series callee Ace of Wands ? 🦀
When Diana Rigg started clicking her fingers you knew someone was going to get their arse well and truly kicked 😁 And I've got a graphic novel where Steed and Mrs Peel team up with Batman and Robin sixties series version and fight Catwoman and the Cybernauts Bliss 🎯
Dame Diana Rigg was beautiful and very witty. I hate it when modern starlets claim they are the first strong fighters. Diana Rigg could kick the asses of several men, then flip her hair and keep going. She could be strong and glamorous. She had many fans. Even The Beatles were fans. Paul McCartney showed up at her home in 1967 to give her a copy of their new album Sgt Pepper. Supposedly the "Hour That Never Was" crossing a runaway crosswalk inspired the cover of "Abbey Road". One thing that has puzzled me was the tie between the Avengers and the Bond films. Several Avengers cast members ended up in Bond films. Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg are usually considered 2 of the best Bond women. Even Steeds steel brimmed hat ended up in Bond. Diana Rigg was in OHMSS, but so was future Avenger Joanna Lumley, one of Blofield's allergy patients.
Thanks for some further fun facts. Never knew about the beatles story. Diana Rigg was awesome as well as Honor Blackman. They showcased the emancipated female. Still kicking ass but without having to be butch to do it and with such style and finesse. The bond connection is interesting for sure and doung my views I notice the connections between Hammer and Blakes 7 and Doctor Who, Bond and The Avengers but the joy is they are all programmes and movies in their own right - maintaining their identity but borrowing a little from a portfolio of some of the best. 🦀
@@LOOKLOOKLOOKAGAIN I was curious about where you got the color images from the black and white season 4? I liked the stories better in season 4 than 5, but I loved Diana Riggs's beautiful Auburn red hair in season 5. Interestingly, in "Death at Bargains Prices," she supposedly knew nuclear physics but thought a Nuclear weapon could be tiny, although having the entire store be a nuclear bomb didn't make sense either. I guess "The Avengers" didn't have to make sense. It was all fun and well-acted.
@user-vj2wt7jh7j Some of the images were colorised by myself through painstaking processes. There are more to my vlogs for my subscribers. Thanks for asking. 🦀
I have only seen Elizabeth Shepard in one thing.....Omen 2.....and it didn't end well for her. As for the show itself, I agree that season 4 was Diana Riggs best season as was season 3 for Honor Blackman. These years were the zenith for the show, I feel. " Too many Christmas Trees" is a traditional episode (my favorite) that is a must for me to watch every Christmas! Lol
Did it actually exist (talking of the version of England in the show). As a student of the 60's (and one wi vivid memories of my much younger years and the world around me) i can say YES it did. England WAS until the 70's got into full swing safer and cleaner. And London in the 60's was often accustomed to unusual sights that helped enhance it's charm. BUT as to the rest...well, let's just say Brian's job WAS to entertain, and in that he did it very well. Let's face it, the Yanks still think ALL of England is like London with just a few postcard villages around the edge. Well we both don't know don't we hon....if only they knew, lol....
Absolutely. It was a decent selling point which hiked The Avengers popularity no end. I always think The Avengers represents a colourful landscape which we would love to believe exists. I recall Patrick Macnee recalling, in a documentary, that a snapshot of 'this' London/England existed (minus diabolical masterminds) only if you were affluent and living in a certain part of the city. I love Avengerland the way it is and wouldn't change it for the world - it captures that 60's zeitgeist of imagination and optimism with sophistication - perfect !
yes I can absolutely see why this is your favourite season. mine too. what's not to like??

@@princeeverlove 🫂 🤗
These are outstanding! Very, very well done, sir.
Awee thanks raypiff1 I hope I have done this wonderful show justice. Enjoy and keep avenging 😊
Magnificent stuff 👍 absolutely love this season too, never better.
The monochrome episodes are just superb.
Same in 🇨🇦 Canada; in (large?) part due to superior recording technology, we also saw the Emma Peel Avengers as our first series.

Love that finger clicking - so haughty and too hip for its own good. Love the monochrome series was more grittier for sure. Love it !
@@LOOKLOOKLOOKAGAIN I just love Avengerland because you've got an episode for every mood
@@garybryant1501 spot on and perfectly put 👌. 🦀
