Do you remember what you watched as a child? I do. I didn’t watch it too much, I must say I found watching too still, but when I did, I surrendered completely to the world I entered. I loved …

The archetypal sixties secret agent show, The Avengers has the unique distinction of being the only British programme ever to get a prime time slot on American network television. The overwhelming international success of its later years tends to overshadow its relatively humble beginnings as a largely studio-bound show shot on videotape, at which point the storylines were confined to the conventional TV thriller-fodder of the time. The lead character from the beginning was John Steed, a government agent, who was partnered on a rotating basis by one of a group of sidekicks; David Keel, a young doctor, Venus Smith, a nightclub singer, Martin King, another medic, and Cathy Gale, a widowed academic martial arts expert. Pretty soon Cathy Gale became Steed’s full-time partner and the others were dropped. During this era the distinctive look of The Avengers began to evolve. Steed’s clothing shifted gradually from the stereotype trenchcoat of the TV spy to the immaculate tailoring which would become his hallmark, and Cathy’s penchant for leather catsuits mirrored her self-confident, assertive personality, making her a true partner for Steed rather than the ineffectual sidekick the female lead would have been in most television programmes of the time. For most aficionados, however, The Avengers was at its height in the two seasons that paired Steed with Emma Peel, the widow of a test pilot believed killed in a plane crash. The bantering relationship between the characters hinted at a greater affection, and, more importantly, a partnership of true equals; hardly surprising that Emma Peel became an early feminist icon. The stories became more quirky and surreal, taking full advantage of the move from videotape to film; as well as improbable cold-war espionage plots, like a parrot being taught to recite top secret missile plans, the pair tangled with killer robots, mind-swapping devices, shrinking rays, and a deranged cartoonist who took on the persona of his superhero creation. When Emma left, after being reunited with her husband who had been discovered alive and well in the jungle, Steed was partnered with Tara King, a young, novice agent fresh out of training school. The relationship was now more that of a mentor and student; although Tara was just as capable of taking care of herself as her predecessors, Steed’s obvious affection for her was more avuncular than before. This final season also introduced Steed’s boss, an irascible overweight paraplegic, codenamed Mother, who provided extra comedy relief. The stories continued to be as inventive and bizarre as ever, including a toxin which induced fatal sneezing fits, a drug which made its victims say the opposite of whatever they meant, and a device which could rot wood to dust in seconds. The format was revived in the seventies as The New Avengers, of which more shortly. The show continues to be celebrated in books and with the release of restored DVDs and it seems likely to continue in the near future as the 50th anniversary of the shows debut is almost upon us: the first episode was first broadcast on 7 January 1961 and already 50th anniversary spin-offs (such as Marcus Hearn's The Avengers: A Celebration) are already hitting the bookstore shelves. Here, we'll have to contend ourselves with a celebration of the 48th anniversary of the release of the first Avengers spin-off novel. The Avengers by Douglas Enefer Consul Books 787, 1963, 126pp, 3/6.

Heil Harris! by John Garforth Panther Books 2204, (Mar) 1967, 124pp, 3/6. Cover: photo [FC: Patrick Macnee] Did Hitler die in a bunker or is he celebrating his 78th birthday today and living in exile in Hertfordshire...? That's the question worrying Steed after meeting a certain 78-year-old Herr Harris who dreams of catastrophe and is clearly connected with mystic rites being practiced in the Herts countryside. But Steed soon finds the world facing a far graver danger...
