The Avengers International Fan Forum

Of interest perhaps - there was apparently an Avengers burlesque night for an event 9 years ago called Mrs. Peel's in London, tying the Avengers to the Swinging Sixties: https://www.designmynight.com/london/whats-on/burlesque-cabaret/mrs-peels The Swinging Sixties Penthouse Party of your dreams Let ...

Was there ever a chance of Ian's Dr. Keel returning to the Avengers after he left?

It is good episode, but not a great episode. It could almost be a Saint in terms of the somewhat more localized baddies and their economic plot. It's very much a Steed show, with Mrs. Peel as a solid backup, but his investigations and assignations are front and center. He also wields firearms on mul...

So I guess that Steed's Avengers attire was based in the look of the New Edwardians, at least according to this article: https://teds.llawern.com/1948-the-neo-edwardians/ It claims that the Steed look was based on the early 1950's era couture of Bunny Rogers A nostalgically-fuelled fad in men’s fash...

This one seemed really dark, character-wise. It's also a piece of two parts - the initial mystery about why the fancy-pants aristocracy genius was skulking criminally about, and then going to the brain-boaster's holiday camp of crime.

At the moment she happens to have the green outfit Joanna wore in Cat Amongst Pigeons , and a May, 1976 TNA photoshoot. Amazingl...

I had forgotten that the Avengers have a quick cameo in the Beatles Yellow Submarine! Check out this short article about classic pulp hero The Phantom's appearance in Yellow Submarine... at the bottom they have a screen grab of his appearance, and look at who is behind him - Steed dancing with someo...

Allard, my thoughts exactly....there wasn't enough time passed...going from the Honor / Diana era...and Elizabeth just didn't fit in.. of course, I have to wonder, WHY she was even considered, in the first place ? I'll bet that the Corridor People gave production folks that she could take the Aveng...

She is supposed to appear at a convention close to me in the fall... I don't think I'll ask her directly, but if she reports anything about the Avengers I'll be sure to report it here!

I believe that the true nature of exactly why Elizabeth Shepard got cut as the first Emma Peel is still shrouded in mystery. I have a theory about why, based on some of the production photos I've seen of her tied and astride a hobby horse, like this one. lizz.png The Avengers had just lost Honor Bla...
