The brothers cover the Wonders...

I did a run through of TNA last year for the first time in decades and I was truly surprised at how many episodes were based on some sort of real or presumed traitors in the Ministry. They flogged that trope to death.

Cheers 🥂

How Steed stayed employed with the Ministry is stunning to me. The many times he was doubted, accused, interrogated, tried, imprisoned, etc. I would have told them to shove it way before Mother came along with his check in or be eliminated nonsense....

Solid 9/10 from me. Gurdmann's reference to encountering Steed and Cathy in 1953 floored me. It completely changed what I thought I knew about their backstory. I speculated about and came up with my own take in a fanfic.

The obvious thing to do...

interesting points...then again, perhaps it's been buried...by powers that be...or Chinese hackers...on the flip, as time passes by, it has a way to distort-or-bury events

because most people can identify with the character...and he's relaxed and highly likable 

The brothers view one of my favourites. Will they like it?:

I remember reading about the series...it ran from what, 1964-1966...26 episodes.....I think it might have come out in the States thru Acorn media...which specializes in lots of UK series....such as REDCAP...

As usual, Malcolm Hulke is sympathetic to the lefties (lots of spoken Russian which Mrs Gale clearly enjoys and is comfortable with, and even Steed does too, cosying up with his opposite number) and the villains behind it all are money-men.

The brothers dish-cover Death a la Carte :

The moment Brodny, sorry, Keller starts fiddling about with the TV screen under the dress of a mannequin with flashing alarm eyes, we realise this is the first overtly comic episode of The Avengers .

Unlike in, say, Build a Better Mousetrap , where...

It does feel Callan -esque, I agree, not least for Ronald Radd being a boss in it (though not Steed's boss, as such: Steed is acting more as liaison between his own organisation/Department, and the police's Special Branch, and Quilpie's PANSAC , the...

after all has been said..yeah, Steed would have added her photo...it's in his nature...

I can't decide now. This episode was made in August 1963 and he only had small parts at that point. I'll see if I can get a shot of the other side of his face and see if I can see that mole Dudley has.

old habits die hard...i.e. skirt chaser.....Steed did love the ladies...

no argument here..in terms of material..well written and snappy dialogue ...what's not to like...would have loved to seen this done
later..on film..the Gale tenure, is indeed special..and set the stage for later years of the series

The brothers take a look...

The brothers view this episode... one of the worst in the series in my opinion, but let's see what they think!

Although I gave this a 10/10 marking originally, rewatching it tonight revealed some technical glitches like the waste bin going flying when John Le Mesurier tried to break the poison bottle on the side of it. But perhaps this is not surprising with...

I've noticed a few of these threads..comment about using these video fans....so which one seems to be preferred ? Marie...or the ' brothers ' ???

in terms of their reviews, etc

The brothers react:

Time to undertake another episode viewing!

One of the earliest doppelganger episodes. I quite enjoyed it on a recent rewatch.

A new year, a new season...

The lads cover Brief For Murder ... which proves to be a big hit.
