Since its first airing in 1961, "The Avengers "has become one of the most enduringly popular series in the history of television-reaching its height in the episodes where Patick Macnee starred as the impeccable John Steed opposite Diana Rigg's strong, sensual Mrs. Peel. The Avengers' world was always full of upper-class derring-do, a place of distinctly elegant high jinks-all portrayed with tongue firmly in cheek. Now, television historian Dave Rogers has assembled into one volume the complete history of this long-running program, from the early episodes featuring Ian Hendry, through the glory days of Diana Rigg, to "The New Avengers-"and beyond. Drawing on extensive interviews with such "Avengers "cast members as Linda Thorson ("Tara King"), Patrick Newell ("Mother"), Honor Blackman ("Cathy Gale"), and, of course, Patrick Macnee-plus several of the show's writers-this volume provides: -An overview of the series-A complete, show-by-show episode guide-A comprehensive collectors' guide to "Avengers "memorabilia-More than 200 photographs of England's classiest crime fighters-And an introduction by "Avengers "producer Brian Clemens. So kick back, uncork a bottle of vintage '28, and relive the dashing adventures of England's high-class heroes Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I will not pretend to have read this book from cover to cover, but rather, it drew me to re-watch some recordings and, with each episode, I have read it up firstly. There are also short biographies of the main actors, writers and an interesting section about the development of the series. As actors left, the show took twists and turns that had never been previously considered. The first series revolved around two male agents but, for the second series one of them was replaced by a woman (and what a woman....er, sorry!) Honor Blackman became Cathy Gale. The USP of the Avengers was that Cathy did not throw up her hands and scream for a big strong man to come and protect her: she fought as well/better than the men. As a red blooded male just entering his teens, I really don't think I need to draw a picture of the effect that this had upon me!
They say that nostalgia is not what it used to be: in this instance, I must disagree - it's GREAT!!!!!!!! ( )
