Poor late lamented Brian Clemens had a dreadful job when he was brought back in order to rescue the Linda Thorson episodes of the Avengers. Many remain utterly unwatchable; but I personally still like those episodes that stuck to the old Avengers formula, i.e. plenty of location filming; believable villains with dastardly plots; lots of wit and masses of specially composed music: [“All Done With Mirrors” “False Witness” “Take Me To Your Leader”.] But to view the series at its zenith, you have to return to the 1965-66 black and white Emma Peel episodes. The run from “A Surfeit of H20” up to “The House That Jack Built” is quite breath taking.
