MRS. PEEL... WE'RE NEEDED! THE AVENGERS 1961-1977 GUIDE


Not much to report from me this week so venture over to the most outrageously comprehensive guide to The Avengers you’ll ever see.

Mrs. Peel We’re Needed! provides a synopsis for all 187 episodes (including The New Avengers) but it’s some of the other details that make this site so impressive. All the cast and crew are searchable, there’s an Avengers calendar, a guide to the main characters' clothes, a catalogue of every vehicle featured (two Vespas, no Lambrettas), a body count, even what the characters had to drink.

The collection of programme stills number into the thousands (2080 from the Emma Peel episodes alone) plus in series five (the colour Diana Rigg ones, i.e. the best ones) all the cute “Mrs Peel We’re Needed” scenes that began the show are uploaded to view; as are the jokey end sequences.

Loads of other things to pass the time including a fun Avengers drinking game. Take a sip of Bollinger Maison Special Cuvee Brut "Every time Emma is coquettish". I'll drink to that.

Thanks to Number 6 over on the Modculture forum for flagging this up.

  1. It is possible to spend too much time browsing that wonderful website? I think not!
