Here's a treat specially for you then, Michael...The Strange Case of The Missing Corpse...a 3-minute or so clip from the 60s, in full colour, apparently a trailer for American tv. Featuring the only ever colour appearance of Diana Rigg in her original catsuit from her B&W season!

thanks very good of you

I watched the much slagged off Trap last night-I'm sorry to all those who hate it, I love it!
Tonight I'll be watching another so-called drag:

Medium Rare

I'm seriously considering getting these. Is the picture any good?
And when is the original Avengers getting a re-release? I missed them the first time around.

Not great, to be honest. The titles are very washed out, and there's lots of dirt on the film in places. It'll probably go down in price in the new year, depends how much you want to own them, I guess. It's a nice slimline package though, and you do get two commentaries.

And when is the original Avengers getting a re-release? I missed them the first time around.

Early 2007, full details to be announced soon, although the first release looks likely to be chronological, so will be the early b&w stuff (pre-Rigg).

**Dirk Gently** · 24th Nov 2006, 11:48 AM

Cheers Steve. I'll wait for the price drop then, & the pre-Rigg stuff is fine by me.

I think it's actually a little worse than the Contender set-but don't sue me if I'm wrong

As for The Avengers, have we all seen this?

**MacNimon** · 24th Nov 2006, 4:02 PM

We have now!!!!

Has anyone e-mailed them yet?

**Dirk Gently** · 24th Nov 2006, 4:04 PM

Cheers Pamela darling, that's what I'm waiting for.

I'm sure a few people have! Apparently you can make suggestions for extras, if there's any you can think of, although a comprehensive extras package was given to them by some 'Uber-fans' a while ago.

OK, I suppose I really should have asked "has anyone from round here e-mailed them"...

I watched Sleeper with Wayne last Sunday - I've got it on a video release from the early 90s doubled up with Target which I shall watch in due course. Haven't watched the video for probably more than a decade. My memory had cheated somewhat on Sleeper - I thought it was a Purdey episode, and that Steed and Gambit were "sleeping" for most of the episode, but that wasn't the case!

Wayne and I recognised good old Prentis Hancock straight away!

Good. We have been waiting for season 2 and what is left of season 1 on DVD for far too long!

I've got the French Cathy Gales and the American Emma Peel bonus disc, but I still can't bloomin' wait to see the new region 2s. "stunning restoration"'s giving me sleepless nights

**Perry Vale** · 28th Nov 2006, 10:17 AM

I hope they clean up the Honor Blackman episodes, the previous set was shockingly bad.

**Pamela** · 28th Nov 2006, 10:26 AM

and one of the episodes jams in one of my players-The Grandeur That Was Rome I think.

That's one of my favourite Blackman episodes, that one! I'm looking forward to seeing the cleaned-up versions, I've already got most of these but only recorded off Bravo around 1995!

me too! D'you know, you're the first person I've ever heard/read say that?

It's good to someone else with impeccably good taste around here....

Watched the third ep of S1 "House of Cards" last night - I think this is a really good one - I love the banter between Purdy and Gambit. Particularly the bit where Purdy's assassin waits in the chair.

Enjoyed the first one "Eagles Nest" too - good start with Peter Cushing but the second one seemed a bit flat.

And what amazing legs JL has too. 10/10

**Pamela** · 30th Nov 2006, 2:32 PM

Oh yes, HOC is a beaut. I don't think anyone could have anything against that one surely-such a sweet ending too!
