The Avengers International Fan Forum

Thought I'd start a thread for Diana Rigg aficionados.

Just an excuse for a plea really: Has anyone got an mp3 of 'Life Is A Precious Thing' aka the music to The Assassination Bureau , as sung by The Mike Sammes Singers.

I thank you...

Anyone know anything about the forthcoming film Boogie Woogie , currently in post production?

Directed by Duncan Wood, it stars Gillian Anderson ( X Files, Bleak House ) and Amanda Seyfried ( Mamma Mia, CSI ). Other familiar names (especially to...

I'm starting work on a new topic (the idea came to me in order to better understand the situation with the current year around the departed people associated with The Avengers/TNA).

Moreover, for example Doctor Who fandom has this area... ...so...

As shared below by Kim, Ray Austin contacted her and told her that Patrick has passed away.

No more details at present.

Bless you, Mr. Steed:(

This feels so momentous that the thread title doesn't do it justice

Sad to report that regular stuntman Terry Maidment, known for everything from The Avengers to The Pink Panther and back again, has passed away.

He had five character appearances in The Avengers along with a host of stunt stand-in spots as well...

Sad to hear that Donald Sutherland has died today aged 88. He was a very talented and versatile actor. Apart from The Avengers he appeared in two excellent episodes of Man in a suitcase. He made so many ground-breaking movies such as MASH, Klute and...

At the age of 90 (New) Avengers stuntman, actor and director RAY AUSTIN has passed away.

No official source for this yet, but it is reported on the net and his son confirms on facebook.

Oh stop rolling your eyes. You all knew I was going to get to her eventually..

As I posted on the last forum, Linda has been getting high praise for her role in Gigi. Has anyone had the chance to see the play?

A while back she had stated she was...

A nice article by his biographer in the latest issue of Intermission Magazine (from Renown Pictures, i.e. Talking Pictures TV). Mac Hulke, screenwriter, was responsible for numerous episodes, including The Mauritius Penny, Concerto, Intercrime, The...

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but I couldn't see it anywhere. I found this 2' 20 video on the British Pathe website: It's a short news item about filming the tag scenes for 3 episodes of series 5.

However, even more interesting is...

Been looking for Gareth's Nescafe commercials for a while on YouTube and, at last, found a couple ...

GH did a series of these ads where certain popular TV actress would come around to his gaff and he would shake his beans at them. 8) Diane Keen,...

A topic dedicated to Honor was still missing in this section, so here it is. And I'm gonna use this first post to show the new fanvideo I recently made, dedicated to Honor:
Honor Blackman Tribute

Apologies, but I didn't know about this beforehand. I watched Return of the Saint today ('Yesteday's hero')on Alibi and Ian Hendry made a guest appearance. It was sad to watch in a way as a few years earlier he had been enjoying a fairly successful...

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...

I was thinking about when Linda won the role, replacing Mrs.Peel..only it was a 'different' agent than the beloved Emma...and the producers wanted a sort of bubbly, blonde ..which I was perplexed, because Mrs. Gale was blonde...and the first ' Emma'...

The venerable performer and husband of Hammer horror legend Andrée Melly passed away, with a rocketing long career, as well as an appearance in the New Avengers episode Last of the Cybernauts. I can't find an obit, but it is listed on IMDB:

Farewell to one of my favourite actors, who was in both The Avengers and The New Avengers .

Price in Get-A-Way , Walters in Hostage , and one of my favourite characters in one of my favourite Sherlock Holmes adventures:...

Sad news, actor John Savident has passed away. He was in The Avengers episode My Wildest Dream , and so much more legendary television. Especially dear to my heart were his Blakes 7 appearances, Spyder's Web , and Doctor Who 's The Visitation .

My new fancy-pants Imprint Blu-Ray set had a series of stills from this fashionable event, but I haven't seen this actual moving footage from the event before (unless it's squirreled away on another disc!)

This fashion show by Jean Varon is...

As part of my ongiong series of Avengers reviews, I'm interested to know if music videos were officially made for these songs in the 60s.

If not, I can just review the songs and the 90s TOTP vid. :)

Reviews can be found here...

It never ceases to amaze me how many familiar faces I see in movies and TV series, very often a familiar character actor I can't always put a name to. And of course the reason I recognise them is due to their having playied a role in a certain TV...

I’m seeing posts on social media that the great composer has passed away, unfortunately (if true). Can anyone confirm or deny? I can’t find any actual real news sources reporting it yet.

on this day in 1990, Gordon Jackson died at 66...His one lone Avengers appearance was in Castle De'ath....(1966)

Last night I watched the horror film Tales that witness madness, and I recognised one of the actors as being in The new avengers episode Three handed game. His name is Michael Petrovitch. On IMDb it says he died in 1999 aged only 54. No cause of...

Toby Hadoke mentions several contributors to The Avengers who died this year in his review of actors and technicians who passed away in 2023 (programme starts 2 minutes in):

Names include: Joss Ackland, Ewan Hooper, Keith Baxter, John Nettleton...
