Default Anyone remember The New Avengers?

Not the Marvel comic. The old British TV show. Steed, Gambit (again, not the Marvel character), and Purdey. Today is its 40th anniversary.

Brilliant and seminal British TV which paved the way for all action drama series which followed.

Yummy hokum which was simply unmissable.

Do you remember The Persuaders with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis? 'Department S' and Jason King?

Golden TV years.

Diana Rigg was in the original Avengers with Steed ... The new Avengers were a re-make of the original

Not a remake, a sequel.
