The Avengers International Fan Forum

Sad hearing about all these deaths . Another kooky girl performance in the Avengers , some villains and some not. I will always remember the fight at the end.

Another weird performance as a witch in The gazette 1968

Linda is playing a Gladys Carpenter. By my reckoning episode 7 is on 21st Feb 2025 BBC1; putting it in the calendar.
 

yup...poor George did have his lines...speaking as Sir Hilary, dubbed by George Baker...it was the choice of director Peter Hunt..who felt Lazenby didn't pull it off..

waiting for the official OBIT.....god speed, sir....

as the years continue to roll by us, more and more of beloved actors, writers, stunt people, etc..pass from this mortal coil..I always did like the character of Venus...and wished she would had a little more exposure ...and of course, I would have...

hot dog...great to see he's still around..and hopefully , for many more...quite the career...

Always thought that Gareth's acting range, was much more complex...and he really never got the respect....and I've always been a Wyngarde fan..great acting chops

Ian Hendry coming back as a different character in To Catch A Rat was a lot like Jacqueline Hill coming back as a different character in Meglos .
 

always liked Valerie Van Ost..always thought she should have been chosen ..instead of Thorson.

 

 
Valerie Van Ost seems to have an offbeat kooky personality that would be good in comedy.
I am not sure she would have been a good replacement.

Bob Stanley from Saint Etienne mentioned Julie Stevens in a recent patreon posting

Happy birthday Chris!  chris gallie.jpg
 
 

Sadly another Avengers related person has left us. Certainly one of the most (if not the most) memorable single performance in all Avengers episodes. 

I got 2 of his movies on disc recently, THE ASSASSINATION BUREAU and THE BEST HOUSE IN LONDON .

He played Italian cab driver Marco De Cesari in 3 episodes of THE SAINT .  Earlier this year, I cast him in one of my own stories as a cab driver in...

true...each era...offered something....and yeah, there was a thin line between Venus and Tara...lol.......radically different from Cathy and Emma...

The sad passing of Julie Stevens got me thinking about Rhonda Parker. Hopefully she is okay and still out there somewhere.

well..that series has been a favorite of may of us..within this forum...let alone, world wide

Suzanne LLoyd (Barbara in The Murder Market) had a round birthday on Nov 11th; appeared in Bonanza, which I watched at the time and The Saint too.

He has a couple of autobiographies, Before I Forget and The Best of Times , but I haven't read them.

 
I've read The Best of Times and it's absolutely brilliant.  A fascinating look at the mechanics of how the television industry operated for...

I consider Roger to be one of the great writers..who had the good fortune of working for the series..and moving on

yup....saw a snippet of it on you tube...a home coming of sorts...lol

Sorry to hear about his death.

He plays straight characters in the two Avengers episodes but without them, the masterminds and oddballs wouldn't stand out. I've always enjoyed his performance as the photographer Tom Slade in the Bird Who Knew Too...

I always remember him as one of the original Dalek voices, but he also appeared on screen in one of the most popular Doctor Who stories as Professor Kerensky along with fellow Avengers alumnus Julian Glover, and as Charlie the Barman in an earlier...

There is an obituary up now:
