The Avengers
I guess that there are quite a few fans on the forum of this classic tv series but which is your favourite incarnation of it? As I was born in the mid 1960's,I was too young to remember the Emma Peel years first hand.My first encounter of watching The Avengers was in the early 1970's with the Tara King character.We didn't have colour tv broadcast in our tv region then so all tv series where shown in black and white which is strange now seeing them in colour.I watched The New Avengers with the beautiful Joanna Lumley when it was 1st broadcast but at the time I wasn't really a fan.As it's being currently re shown on BBC4 I've actually grown/matured into liking it quite a lot.During the last 30 years or so I caught the odd episode of the Diana Rigg era of the Avengers but at the time I couldn't get worked up about her and often wondered why she seemed to be regarded as the ultimate Avenger girl.It's only recently that I've had the opportunity to see the entire episodes that she starred in that I realise how great that she was in the series, making me place her as the number 1 Avenger babe.I still haven't seen the Honor Blackman episodes so I can't comment on them.Who is your favourite and what is your favourite episode?Currently my favourite episode is "The hour that never was" . http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XWeGANmsIFk Tara King era opening to the Avengers which I believe is the best intro. btw the bridge that Tara can be seen running on in the opening clip is
Tyke's Water Lake, Elstree and makes an appearance in quite a few episodes

Always Mrs Peel for me, though I must admit to a definate stirring of the loins when Linda Thorsen appeared as Steed's colleague.
As a matter of interest, there are obviously a number of useful web-sites for fans of the show, including: http://avengerland.theavengers.tv/ This lists many of the locations, mostly in a wide arc from Slough to Hertford, used in the show. Many still recognisable, even nearly 40 years later. http://theavengers.tv/forever/ Episode details. |

Agree. Mrs.Peel for me, even tho' only just old enough to remember the later ones, but loving the very weird (very Avengers?) b&w Rigg era re-runs on BBC4. I take it the opening flourish which said "The Avengers- In Colour!" was meant for the US market (English spelling notwithstanding).

Quintessential Avengers for me were Diana Rigg, B&W, and had lots of very wierd plots and camera angles. |

Yeah, Diana Rigg was great and hot in the Avengers. Granada attempted to make a rival series called The Corridor People which only lasted a few episodes, mainly because their leading lady, Elizabeth Shepherd, was a cold austere and frankly unattractive Austrian type and shared none of Rigg's ahem talents.

Definitely Diana Rigg. THe House That Jack Built is a classic episode.
