Early Avengers Found LackingReview created: 03/03/08

As a historical piece, giving the viewer an idea of what BBC television was like in 1962, The Avengers 62 is interesting. Poor black and white video quality and slow pacing, however, make these early shows inferior to later episodes with Patrick Macnee, Diana Rigg and Linda Thorson. I don't think I would purchase pre-Macnee/Rigg episodes again.

I enjoyed this Avengers with Honor Blackman. I was intersting to see the diffrence in the television technology of the 1960's and now. I liked this and yes, I would tell others to purchase this as it is a cult classic and the foundation for the other Avenger series. As usual, the acting is very good and believeable, even thought some of the situations are a bit farfectched but, truth is stranger than fiction.

The problem with the early 'Avengers' is!There is absolutly nothing wrong with the early 'Avengers' series, per se. These were all very forward thinking television programs. Great for 1962. It's just it's filmed in 1961 England using 1950's technology. Primitive would be an underststement. They certainly tried their very hardest using what limited resources they had. But the faults will be glaringly obvious when veiwed. Especially the lighting and the film quality. The cimimatography is also somewhat lacking. If you compare this 1962 set to anything later you'll see the quality improve quite rapidly. Daring for it's time. Brilliant even. But wowfully inadiquate compaired with the later works. Unless your a 'dye in the wool' Avengers fan. I'd recommend you leave these early works alone.
