Comments and Reviews

23skidoo 4th Sep 2016		An odd example of a TV series spun off from a TV commercial. In the early 1970s Patrick Macnee and Linda Thorson (Tara King in the original series) made a very popular TV commercial for some product in France, playing Steed and Tara. Apparently one of the networks decided to buy the Avengers to show as a result but discovered the series was no longer in production (these things happened pre-Internet), so they commissioned a new series. Rather than bring Thorson (or Diana Rigg) back they decided to pair Steed with new partners, though they were able to cheat a guest appearance by Rigg in the second season by clever use of footage from a 1960s Avengers episode.
