 The Avengers - The Complete Emma Peel Megaset (2006 Collector's Edition) $99.95 The Avengers with Diana Rigg at center stage is so satisfying that I feel it is difficult to put into words. I loved this show as a kid and loved while it was in repeats and love it still. The opening credits are some of the most exciting in television history and the show has its humor intact. It is a bit of science fiction, adventure, espionage and comedy mixed in altogether. So fun, so exciting to watch. Even the music is great and memorable. The disk also contains a documentary on the show and several lost episodes from the 1st season and The New Avengers. The lost episodes are pretty good but The New Avengers episode makes very little sense and is terrible. During the documentary I was shocked to hear that Diana Rigg was disliked on the set except by Patrick Macnee and the things they say about Linda Thorson isn't so nice either. The writers seem to feel sorry that when the show became bigger and financing was taken over by the US, they lost out. Which they probably did. I am glad that they were there to create this wonderful show but feel sad that they fail to recognize how great it really is and how great Diana Rigg was in the part of Emma Peel. Honor Blackman makes out much better but it was probably a smaller show and under more control of the writers then. |
