Avengers '65 - Set 2, Vols. 3 & 4 Reviews
second sets of DVD with Emma Peel
The Second set of 1965 era has Steed and Peel gelling as partners. Rigg and Macnee have the perfect sizzle of chemistry. Admiration in their eyes, the flash and fire, but all kept quite under control as they function together to stop the evil menace against Britain. I have seen some say this series came about because of the success of the Bond Film, but it was already on the air with the
early episodes, and follow in the trek of Patrick MacGoohan's "Danger Man", which turned into "Secret Agent" (and then into "the Prisoner"). These seven episodes are still in B&W, which I think even added to this mysterious ambiance of the episodes. Being able to film in lower light, permits those deep shadows, giving a sinister touch.
1) "The Murder Market" takes Steed and Emma undercover at a marriage bureau, ending with Steed rescuing Emma from being buried alive as she gets too close to the "black widows" at the center of this evil plot
2) "A Surfeit of H20" A freak rainstorm drowns locals in the fields. Fearing this is the return of the "Great Flood", they villagers have begun building a new Ark. Emma is stylish even in a Mac!
3) "The Hour That Never Was" Steed visits his old RAF airbase in Hamlin.
Hours are missing in people's memories, so Steed and Emma must uncover brainwashing saboteurs, threatening England.
4) "Dial a Deadly Number" have Steed and Emma investigating a device called a "Bleeper". The Bleeper is designed to help millionaires keep in touch, but an evil doer has set it to reach out and kill.
5) "Man-Eater of Surrey Green" When a outer space artichoke, lands and takes root, and begins killing eminent horticulturists, Emma and Steed get out the Roundup. Rocky and Bullwinkle fought a similar plant in the cartoons - wonder who was first...lol?
6) "Two's A Crowd" Russian agents had let loose a doppelganger for Steed, in order to infiltrate a defense conference
7) "Too Many Christmas Trees" is one of my fav episodes. Steed has been having a strange nightmare, so he welcomes the invitation for Hols in the country at friends. He invites Emma to tag along. They dress up in period costumes, and all seem to have a good time, but Emma begins to suspect Steed's dream is not a dream, but someone trying to control Steed's mine through telepathy
Just great fun to have these on DVD.
MY FAVORITE AVENGERS SET OF ALL TIME!
This is the BEST of all the Avengers sets. Every one is a gem! Patrick Macnee as John Steed and Diana Rigg as Emma Peel are "Superly" Fabulous! This set includes: The Murder Market, A Surfeit of H20, The Hour That Never Was, Dial A Deadly Number, Man-eater of Surrey Green, Two's A Crowd, and EVEN FOR A BONUS, they give you: Too Many Many Christmas Trees! THIS IS THE BEST SET OF THE AVENGERS!
