The Avengers
An episode guide
by John T Burt - 2003
This covers the Avengers show, 1962 through 1669 (seasons 2-6). It was done from the show as broadcast on A&E in the late 80s. A&E did not show them entirely in order and I think they cut many of the episodes. The titles are listed in the order broadcast on A&E but the episode numbers are from TVTome.com which has broadcast dates. Season 1 is apparently mostly lost.
The guide was prepared informally, with comments on quality instead of grades, and notes on the story contents rather than formal summaries. I might update this when I watch it again someday. The Avengers DVD Emma Peel Mega-Set includes all the Mrs. Peel stories, seasons 4 and 5 and season 6 episode 1.
