Love The New Avengers! The show came out in 1976. I was 2 years old and had a huge crush on Steed ever since. He was always my dream guy. Love Patrick Macnee still. He was the coolest.
Indeed. I'm sure I read somewhere that they didn't get on whilst working on the Avengers, but there was a kind of 'angry' chemistry between them which Brian Clemens noticed. They eventually became great friends during filming but fell out again years later when Martin famously refused to allow the showing of repeats for several years, at a time when Lewis was struggling to make ends meet and needed the money.
Rest in Peace Laurie Johnson. Nice video edit. Patrick Macnee must have been tall judging by that trio shot. Especially as Joanna Lumley's legs are infinite in length 😅
Can anyone remember which New Avengers Episode featured the Scene at 2:05 in this footage where Gambit bursts in through the door with gun in hand and Purdey hides behind the door beside a Coat Stand? I'm familiar with most Episodes from The Great TV Showing Currently on TV but have no recollection of this Scene.
I'd forgotten all about this show until today when doing a search for Baretta??.... lol. Anyway, all I could remember is there were 3 members instead of 2 and somebody's name was Gambit but wasn't sure of that. Then a thought hit me. Was Steed in this? Yeah. Was it call The new avengers? Searched and here I am....lol. Mom and I use to watch this together and it came on late at night I think, after the 11 o'clock news. Also, remember this show being really and Joanna Lumley kickin' butt, I think. It's all kind of a blur now. Anyway, glad I rediscovered it. Oh and definitely remember Gambit being HOT!....LOL.
Now that theme really takes me back - awesome... Sorry but they were The Avengers for me..... - Steed Gambit and Purdy!! "Maybe we can work together again - good team...." Wonder who said that on The New Avengers?
Collins and Shaw were in one show, but not as Bodie and Doyle but as Kilner and Larry. It was supposedly their appearance in TNA that got the the C15 gig
I seem to remember there was some back story when Steed and Bond where at Eton together and Steed gave him what we call in England a good hiding over Bonds Treatment of a House Maid ,,,,
Great. Loved The Avengers and the New Avengers (especially Purdey).
Two of the most iconic theme tunes of all time.
Laurie Johnson the composer of the avengers , saw on news past away today age 97
Nice job with this edit! Came here when I just heard of the death of composer Laurie Johnson.
He was a genius, rearranged the music to suit the characters in the title , and the professionals brilliant theme and both series brilliant casting

Includes shots of Lewis Collins and Martin Shaw, soon to star in The Professionals.

@@Wally-H *Brian Clemens
some class footage in that clip ,when telly was telly :)
Laurie Johnson wrote The Professionals theme too.
@@reddevil9554 And used wahwah on just about every instrument of The Professionals soundtrack.
Laurie Johnson, the best at mixing funk and classical with an orchestra!
I'm a little ashamed to admit I didn't know who is was and that he did this but I agree, masterful stuff! Love this theme tune!
Rest in Peace Laurie Johnson.

One of the many, many great theme tunes from the 60s and 70s .. they don't write them like they use to!
Laurie Johnson , le meilleur pour mélanger de la funk et du classique avec un orchestre !
Bri-lli-ant !! Very well done, thank you
I was so in love with Joanna Lumley back then of course I was only 7 or 8 years old
Me too at 1:54 ...
Just watched this for the first time ... one of the best compilation pieces with excellent soundtrack -very nicely done :-) Brilliant.

J' adore
Wow. and Wow.Dont you all just love The New Avengers.
Yeah, we certainly do. Awesome show from my childhood. TV is so boring these days.

Big promo for British Leyland at the time
Yes especially with the range rovers Jaguars and MGs it’s a shame they couldn’t supply cars properly on time!!
Genius
Love this, thank you 😂x
love the edit.
cool init with the proper theme title full length
Great TV series, great theme like the previous ! Special mention for Purdey (little crush)
Always nice to get a thighful of Purdey.
good edit well done,thanks for sharing
Now that theme really takes me back - awesome... Sorry but they were The Avengers for me..... - Steed Gambit and Purdy!!
"Maybe we can work together again - good team...." Wonder who said that on The New Avengers?
Loved Purdey's kicks and thigh grip.
Remember the great graphics, music and clips used in the opening credits but pretty much nothing about the episodes!
1.26 and 1.35 bodie and doyle were they in it?
Collins and Shaw were in one show, but not as Bodie and Doyle but as Kilner and Larry. It was supposedly their appearance in TNA that got the the C15 gig
The name's Steed, John Steed
I seem to remember there was some back story when Steed and Bond where at Eton together and Steed gave him what we call in England a good hiding over Bonds Treatment of a House Maid ,,,,
I wonder who'd win in a fight Gambit or Bodie ? ,,,
D❤PE
I know it was the same writer but did Bodie and Doyle appear in the New Avengers?
Pertamax...
Long introduction
wow some epic Joanna footage & lewis & Martin from the Professionals :) when telly was telly
It's one of the best episodes of the series.
