Product Details

Product Description

From the Back Cover

Comprised secrets, strange disappearances and a parade of dead doctors are among the mysteries secret agent extraordinaire John Steed (Patrick Macnee) must solve in the final season of The Avengers. Providing able assistance is his new partner, the young and beautiful Tara King (Linda Thorson), fresh from her top-secret training with the Ministry. To add a little spice to the proceedings, she promptly falls madly in love with her debonair mentor. The sexy style, fantastic action and droll wit that made The Avengers an international phenomenon sparkle in this collection of six digitally restored and remastered episodes that originally aired in 1968-69.

The six episodes include:
Game
The Super Secret Cypher Snatch
You'll Catch Your Death
Split
Whoever Shot Poor George Oblique Stroke XR40
False Witness

5.0 out of 5 stars Tara Gets Here Due, Nov 29 2003
By 
This review is from: Avengers 68 Set 1 (DVD)
If you fondly remember that great British import that we watched on TV way back in the 60s then you no doubt know about the content of what you are getting. You know you are getting the best in that department. You are more likely concerned about the quality of the product. Like John might say to Tara, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch your back. Just watch the hat please." At last now, John and Tara are back and are here to stay on DVD. The Tara King episodes were excellent, being well scripted, thought out and well acted. More appropriately one may ask how they look. They look good, very good, excellent in fact. Tara would have it no other way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holds Its Own in Relation to the Mrs. Peel Set., Feb 27 2002

William Bradford (Palos Park, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Avengers 68 Set 1 (DVD)
As some of you who have read other reviews that I have done for The Avengers series and I'll say it again... Being a new fan in terms of seeing the movie, see my review, I became interested in the show.

Now granted Mrs. Peel was beautiful and had class and brains, and Blackman had curves and brains also, yet most people over look Tara King. She did have very good wits and great intellect.

When I first bought this set I thought I was wasting my money, but I was wrong. This volume is pretty good. The firt two episodes are hard to get use to the idea of Steed working with someone else other than Peel, yet after that you warm up to the idea nicely. She adds a new spark to the show and a something... I don't know what, as the French would say. The transfer of the shows is not bad although A&E should have made another master copy and given some better color job or sharpened the picture. Yet those are just small complaints. Steed and King do work well together and they do have chemistry which does make watching the show more enjoyable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tara King provided a spark we all knew would flame, Jan 28 2002

This review is from: Avengers 68 Set 1 (VHS Tape)
Let's be honest. It was a little frustrating watching the playful antics of Steed and Mrs Peel, knowing that all that would ever happen would be a respectful peck on the cheek or a cordial hug. Enter Tara King, Steed's last partner. She is a Peel-in-training, only a little younger and a lot more in love with John Steed. Of course we know that nothing overt would ever happen between the two. It's just nice to know that when the credits roll the two might actually kiss on the lips. Linda Thorson is absolutely terrific as Steed's sidekick. She is athletic, fearless and determined. The '68 episodes were constructed with the same care and attention as the Rigg episodes and they are a pleasure to watch. If you think Mrs Peel was the only game in town, check out Tara King. She is a gas.
