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 Patrick 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.
