    Review Danger Man/Secret Agent (1960)

    If McGoohan wanted to remove doubt he could played Number 6 with an accent or with a moustache or something. Of course Six and Drake are the same , but Ralph Smart creator of Danger Man would have wanted royalties if Drake had been used in The Prisoner.

    Alexei Sayle does the Neville Chamberlain Munich agreement. After watching this sketch I can never see Chamberlain holding that piece of paper without giggling.

    I think Macnee was hoping for more 60's style mayhem but The New Avengers was a 70's style show very much of the era, which is fine, I like it too. As for Avengers girls, Linda Thorson is often overlooked but I think she was excellent.

    The New Avengers was of course not as eccentric as the original, much more down to earth stories, but it did give us Joanna Lumley and Purdey.

    Review The Children of Auron: Episode 33

    One of the best episodes of episodes 27-52. Servalan was totally awesomely evil , and Jacqueline Pearce played it exactly right. Not sure why Derril was kept around, he seemed pretty inept. Did all the officers have in built death devices in their uniforms? Never saw that again did we...

    Review Volcano: Episode 29

    IT'S THE BIG BATTLE FOLKS! Voice From The Past vs Volcano. Which is the worst Blakes7 episode of the lot? It's tough to chose, I keep changing my mind but at least " Voice" has an interesting story but just pathetically realized whereas"Volcano" is just nonsense. Why is the Pyroan city next to...

    Nice little remembered comedy series from.the 90's. Set in a solicitors office, this works due to the excellent cast headed by Imelda Staunton and some very plausibly daft characters. This opening ten minutes of episode 7 series 1 gives a good indicator of the show.

    Review Powerplay: Episode 28

    Finding a suitable replacement for Blake was tricky but in Tarrant they did well. He is a good foil for Avon and keeps him in check, otherwise it could have become the Avon show. Tarrant is spiky and bullish and a bit of a know-all show off. By series 4 this will change sadly. The Chenga scenes...

    Review Aftermath: Episode 27

    First thing to say is that I have some sympathy with Jossette Simon regarding her attitude to Dayna, who is a pretty much one dimensional warrior type, with added personal grievances that are understandable. I just could never warm to her and Jenna is sorely missed. As a teenager I kept...

    Yes I've got it included in my dvd megaset of the show. I'd love Big Finish to take it up, and Star Cops.

    The Winged Avenger a favourite episode of the Avengers. A cartoonist is taken over by his creation, The Winged Avenger. Fight scene here as Mrs. Peel and The Winged Avenger wearing anti-gravity boots, fight on the ceiling. A visual reference to the tv Batman show too.

    This is one of the classiest brilliant episodes of spy drama I've ever seen. The last episode of series 1 of The Sandbaggers. If you have any real intention to go through this show then probably don't view this until you've reached the right point, but as a one off you'll not regret seeing this...
