The Avengers

Well,

Here's some TV nostalgia, of the highest order. Throughout the 60's ... I know, a long time ago. I don't remember too much about that time, but I was there. At least, I've seen photos of me then.

Patrick McNee and either Honor Blackman, Diana Rigg (sigh!) or Linda Thorson.

Here is the opening sequence during the Emma Peel (Dame Diana Rigg) days ...



Yes, most of the episodes were filmed in black and white, but no matter. Favorite episode - easy - 'Too Many Christmas Trees', in which Steed (McNee) and Mrs. Peel are guests at a Christmas party at a wonderful English mansion with a Dickensian theme. Steed is costumed as Sydney Carton ('hoist on my own petard' - A Tale of Two Cities), and Emma is Oliver Twist.

The entire series is available on A&E DVDs, and worth seeking out at your local library. The Hudson Valley system has them all.

Here is a 5 minute clip of the first few minutes of the episode.
