The Avengers - Must See TV

I grew up as a child watching this with my mother in the late 1960's. The show was absolute "Class" with the fashion, the women, and the Exotic and Classic cars. This was without a doubt , one of the greatest tv series of its time.

Along with The Prisoner, The Avengers was just about the most entertaining thing that has ever been on television.

Diana Rigg and her chemistry with Macnee made this show for me -- a true classic!

The Avengers was one of the very best shows ever produced. There will never again be such a show.

RIP Diana Rigg. You will never be forgotten.🥂🌂🥂2020. “Always keep your bowler on in times of stress and watch out for diabolical masterminds”.

I became an Anglophile - I'm French - thanks to "the Avengers", and I watch this excellent series regularly, as well as "the Prisoner". A real soft power...

As a kid in the 60's I loved this show. Thank you.

We're so lucky to have enjoyed this level of entertainment. Emma Peel, Steed, and the whole adventure! What a delight in our personal history!

Thank you. Emma Peale was a great role model for millions of us little girls, and she was the first on television.

I am 68 and have watched many repeats of this fine show. Steed's immaculate attire, Emma Peel's cat suits and fighting scenes, the humour, the locations, the cars, the daft plots, all put together by a team of experts, and still being shown on tv. It would be very difficult to replicate this today. The world has changed and become a lot more serious. The " Avengers " was a one off mix , of  skilled actors and actresses, excellent direction, photography, editing, and  script writing.

I was in love with Linda Thorson. The close-out scenes in Steed's stylish mews flat, with the inevitable glass of champagne were priceless ! 😊

For me, the quintessential "Avengers" moment was in one episode where Steed and Tara were walking down a street, when a would-be murderer suddenly leaped down on them from above -- missing them, and going "SPLAT!" on the sidewalk. Without batting an eye, Steed and Tara stopped, looked down at him, and calmly said: TARA: "Rather a third-rate assassin, wouldn't you say?" STEED: "They don't make them like they used to." TARA: "No PRIDE in their craft." On a more serious note: Diana Rigg had been on the show for some time when she learned that she was being paid less than the chief CAMERAMAN on the show. Needless to say, once the mountains of fan mail for Emma Peel started rolling in, she saw to it that THAT situation changed dramatically.

Watched this show in reruns as a kid in the early 1970s. One of the best ever. Diana Rigg and Patrick Macnee were so awesome together!!

There's something rather special about that theme tune, it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck prickle!

I never, ever tire of watching this program. Time and again each episode is consistently entertaining. I love them all.

One of the best television themes ever written

As a kid I secretly watched The Avengers through the stair banisters because it was shown way past my bedtime, until my mother caught me one time. After that, as a special treat I was allowed to watch it each week with my parents. Happy days.

Was there ever a better-dressed man than Patrick MacNee? Even after five decades, those suits still ooze elegance and class. Wonderful stuff.

Diana Rigg and Patrick Macnee to me are the best I’ve ever seen.

I remember watching this show as a kid in the 90's thanks to my parent's collection tapes. The theme music of the show was breathtaking. It's iconic and must see tv.....Even today.
