Plus: The German Invasion of London! - A special interview for German TV featuring Patrick McNee and Diana Rigg!

Synopsis
This AVENGERS collection presents six more episodes from the classic 1960s television series that follows secret agents John Steed (the ever-suave Patrick Macnee) and Emma Peel (the ever-lovely Diana Rigg) on various crime-fighting adventures. The set contains the episodes The Living Dead, The Hidden Tiger, The Correct Way to Kill, and three more.

From the Back Cover
Episode 1: The Living Dead - In which Steed finds a mine of information and Emma goes underground.
Ghost sightings of the 15th Duke of Benedict attract the attention of Steed and Emma. Could this really be a case of 'What's mine is mine'?

Episode 2: The Hidden Tiger - In which Steed hunts a big cat and Emma is badly scratched.
After people are found mauled to death by a large feline, Steed and Emma must prevent a most purr-fect crime from turning into a catastrophe.

Episode 3: The Correct Way To Kill - In which Steed changes partners and Emma joins the army.
Steed and Emma are under suspicion for the murder of two agents. It's time for them to open the Iron Curtain and start rushin' around.

Episode 4: Never, Never Say Die - In which Steed meets a dead man and Emma fights the corpse.
When a man is run down and killed - twice - Emma and Steed must be dead on the money when dealing with the stiff Professor Stone

Episode 5: Epic - In which Steed catches a falling star and Emma makes a movie.
Emma Peel is going to be made into a movie star - whether she likes it or not. For when mad director ZZ von Schnerk says "Cut!" he means it!

Episode 6: The Superlative Seven - In which Steed flies to nowhere and Emma does her party piece.
It's desert island deaths for Steed as he is kidnapped and forced into a septuplet of killers, each trying to be the last one alive

Customer Reviews

Even better than the first
This box set is even better than the first. It contains some smashing episodes of my favourite series of all time. In "The Living Dead" Emma gets imprisoned in an underground city but escapes just in time to rescue Steed. The marvellous episode "The Hidden Tiger" is also included in this set. It's absolutely a five star episode in which cats can be turned into ferocious wild animals by remote control. The school for gentlemen from "The Correct Way to Kill" is also absolutely a highlight in the Avengers Series. In "Never, Never Say Die" Christopher Lee gets run down by a car twice. "Epic" is, just like "The Joker" (not included on this set), one of those episodes I most fondly remember. It's a wonderful Emma Peel episode in which see makes a movie whether see likes it or not. Director ZZ von Scherk makes a great and eccentric baddy in this one. For the fans of John Steed there is the last episode on this set "The Superlative Seven". Steed is of course one of the chosen Superlatives.

Sound quality is good considering this series were made more than three decennia ago. But the episode "The Hidden Tiger" features a few seconds nasty distortion. Picture quality more than makes up for the minor flaws in sound quality. Picture is sharp and colours are bright. The extras include a wonderful picture gallery, containing pictures of The Avengers and their cars and spectacular sixties fashion. A nice bonus is the interview for German television. The "Follow That Hat" option again is a little disappointing but all in all these discs are more than worth the money and should be added to the collection of every cult series fan. John Steed and the beautiful Emma Peel are absolutely marvellous on this one. I can hardly wait for the release of the next box set.

Definitive bargain
A quote from my brother in law, for whom I bought the set.

"The Dutch company have done an outstanding job on the remastering - both visually and from the audio point of view - they could have been made yesterday!"
