The Avengers International Fan Forum

I've seen this become a raging argument in many states, and communities ..and every once in an while, there's either a real life event-or-program episode that brings it to light..once the decision is made to give out the shot, or throw the switch ,...

The Spiritualist Blackmailers Caper    ( 7 of 10 )

THE AVENGERS:  Second Sight
The Clinic in Switzerland Caper      ( 6 of 10 )

Steed is called in when someone in his office suspects something dodgy is going on regarding a pair of doctors wanting to bring medical transplant tissue into the...

By coincidence, I've just seen actor David Davies in The Adventures of Robin Hood (an episode called Sybella ) - he was very irritating in it!
 

That's what I've been doing with both McCLOUD and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA .  On BG , I got about halfway thru... then stopped, probably due to stress of some real-life situations at the time.  I got that on Blu-Ray recently, and the last several weeks,...

THE AVENGERS:   Death Of A Batman
Steed & Cathy vs. Insider Trading      ( 6 of 10 )

Attending the funeral of his old army batman , Steed learns the man, who worked as a draftsman, somehow legally racked up an enormous fortune. This leads to he &...

At its core, The Undertakers is Malcolm Hulke's BRILLIANT satire (or vicious attack, take your pick) as the insanity of the British tax system. 15 years before Robert Holmes took aim at it in the DOCTOR WHO story The Sun Makers , Hulke points out...

Franky nailed how I felt...bingo!.....that episode was D.O.A. oh, it probably looked ok..script form..but as it was done, it just didn't cut the mustard.

IMDB is known as the Inaccurate Movie Database for good reason ;)
 
yup....no doubt....learned that lesson, some time ago..doing research on a program, and the data was quite wrong in spots. but they are improving, a tiny bit...
 
 

There's an extra called Bob James listed in the BBC paperwork for JJJ episode 5, I think the usual IMDB mistake has been made.Screenshot 2025-01-14 184609.png
 

 

As David Brunt said on Gallifrey Base:

There's a Bob James listed on the...

A spy ring operating out of a luxury holiday camp are involved in killing and replacing highly-placed people with exact duplicates, who have spent years training to...

The 2010 Region 2 Studio Canal DVD had excellent picture, but, unfortunately, REALLY rough sound, making it difficult for me to make out maybe a third of the dialogue. I can't remember if my earlier 90s videotape recorded off A&E had this problem....

Roger Marshall did 15 episodes between seasons 2-6, with most of his being in season 4! Seems a shame that, as far as I can tell, I've never seen any of his other work, because he was definitely one of the better writers on what I consider the BEST...

This episode is famous of course for Nigel Stock completely forgetting his lines mid scene during the drinking session and Patrick Macnee adlibs with increasing concern, trying to hint his line, until one of the crew loudly prompts the line in the...

I always remember Charles Bud Tingwell as the father in the first (best) series of Catweazle ...
 

how popular are the 'brothers'..?? and how are they received ?

 

No idea - they're just one of many YouTube reactors. I also watch (on Patreon and YouTube) Medusa Cascade (who is on series 2) and Marie-Clare (Who has just finished Series 1 and...

Also kinda strange that Judy Parfitt is credited behind several actors who were less prominent in the episodes than her.
Yes, for all the episode's faults, she is very memorable in it.

The brothers cover the Wonders...

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...

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...

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

The brothers take a look...
