Just imagine the magic you will weave with The New Avengers!
I think this four volume collection will form an important part of the show's history.

I'm already trying to work out which episodes I'll do, as I know it'll take me an age. I keep trying to whittle the list down, but then I think of another angle for one of the others and it grows again. If I choose 13, is that too many?

In all seriousness, though, I think these books are a major new development for the show's place in popular culture. They're stimulating us all to think about episodes in new ways for the first time in years. They're wonderful projects, and I'm honoured to be able to participate in them.

I wasn't sure what the response would be when I first threw the 'grenade' of the idea out into this forum. Hopefully, the fact that volume 1 is now a reality will stimulate interest among would-be writers to contribute to later volumes.

Please e-mail me any typos or factual errors and I will change them at the end of March. It involves taking the book offline for 48 hours. I've changed Frankymole's already.

I'm sure it will. I'm very glad you took the plunge and put the idea out there, in spite of your reservations.

Actually, THAT is a typo in the dialogue sheets. It's actually Hôtel George V (Hôtel George Cinq)

Didn't Steed stay there during TNA as well?

Just to confuse things there is a George Sand Hotel in Paris but only 3 star - Piers is correct it is a typo in the dialogue script - it should be the luxury 5 star George V Hotel in Paris.

I'm prouder of one of my essays than the other, but I don't know if anyone will guess which one or why!

The wonderful thing now is I can stop fretting about mine and luxuriate in so many other viewpoints on the rest. It's clear that like most of The Avengers, this book's writing has both style and substance, in abundance.

Well I've just eaten lunch, so back to the book I'll read very slowly so you don't have to jealous
I ordered it off Amazon.co.uk, as it's not listed on Amazon.ca. But things from Britain arrive pretty sharpish here--usually within a week unless Canada Post is being particularly difficult. I don't order from the US site unless it's absolutely not available anywhere else, as it takes an absolute age to get here. I have no idea why it takes longer to get something from just over the 49th parallel than across the whole of the Atlantic. I'm calling it a Commonwealth perk.

I'm sure both your essays are excellent, and I shall enjoy them. Don't hold back on my account--I'll make a good catch-up effort when I get mine.

Timeless you have only written over 4000 posts here. Maybe Rodney can give the poor girl a few chapters via email.
