About this product

Product Information

The British television series THE AVENGERS ran from 1961 to 1969. It featured a stylish detective duo investigating bizarre crimes in hour-long mystery/adventure dramas. It also inspired the 1998 Hollywood film THE AVENGERS starring Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman. The original duo of anthropologist, marksman, and judo expert Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman) and undercover operative/man-about-town John Steed (Patrick Macnee) is on the case in six complete episodes from the '63 season. Episodes include: "The Undertakers" - A businessman has some unwelcome visitors in the form of two undertakers bearing a coffin for the still-alive man! Steed and Cathy Gale are soon on the case, going undercover to resolve the mysterious events."Man With Two Shadows" - Steed discovers he has a double, trained to replicate his entire persona. Cathy is sent to solve the dilemma, and kill Steed's double, but will she be able to tell the difference between the two men? "The Nutshell" - An investigation into a break-in at a top-secret military base appears to implicate Steed into the crime, resulting in his arrest for treason. "Death of a Batman" - A legacy of �180,000 is left when a former batman of Steed's passes away, and some shady characters appear out of the woodwork in an attempt to make off with the cash."November 5th" - A murdered politician and a missing warhead lead to an intense case for Steed and Cathy. When it transpires that the politician is far from dead, and about to detonate the warhead, November 5th (England's fireworks-laden Guy Fawkes Day) could be about to go out with a bang! "The Gilded Cage" - Steed and Cathy seek help from master criminal J.P. Spagge in an attempt to steal �3 million in gold, leading to Cathy's implication in Spagge's murder.

  • Some jolly good DVDs!

    Wonderful early TV shows of The Avengers with John Steed and Cathy Gayle. The quality of the British TV presentations at the time wasn't as good as USA but that would soon change. The collective effort put into the shows conjured up an unforgettable entertainment spectacle. A jolly good show!

  • Avengers DVD Set 1

    These early episodes of the Avengers on dvd are a great addition to an Avengers collection….these A&E dvds are hard to find…they have been out of print for some time…good investment for an Avengers fan!

  • The Original Avengers

    I grew up watching the Emma Peel episodes and knew there were others before, but had never seen any. I loved watching the evolution of the show I love so much. Honor Blackman is just as great to watch as Emma Peel.

  • Avengers

    Quite interesting as it sets up the proceeding episodes to come. Would have been nice if the original film had been better preserved but alas this is not the case. Still definitely worth owning if you are an Avengers/Honor Blackman fan.

  • The Cathy Gale Years

    Cathy; a rare mix of charm and frightful intelligence. And a woman honestly happy. A delight for the small screen.
