Well It Is Friday

Due to tight budget it has been \another day of relaxing and since it has been an overcast day with the occasional shower i decided to do some reading. Covered quite a few a few chapters from each book with another one fully completed. Hey ho, so back to reading and maybe that Daredevil movie DVD to watch later on. Might even watts that third Jason Bourne trilogy , having watched the other two.  I also listened to one of thses Big Finsh Dr.Who audio items. It was Tom Baker as the good old Doctor.

The first series had two male leads David Keel (Ian Hendry) and of course Steed and they have a very fraught relationship.

The first season was very different and much more down to Earth but still with some interesting plot ideas and set ups which made it different from those shows around it.

You can download some things from the Big Finish website I believe, not sure elsewhere.

Thanks for setting me straight.  My earliest memories of The Avengers was watching John Steed & Emma Peel on the local PBS station, back in my high school days.

No problem. I don't think any of the first three series made it abroad until the 1980s, but I may be wrong on that front.

Since I graduated from high school in 1969, it was evidently a bit earlier. I don't recall if those old episodes ever made it to commercial TV here in the US, but they did appear on Public or Educational TV. PBS has always been known for running classic British TV shows.
