With the departure of Mrs. Peel (Diana Rigg), Steed (Patrick Macnee) has acquired a new assistant, Tara King (Linda Thorson), who relies less on judo and more on feminine guile to dispatch her assailants. Miss King will use a coo or a kiss rather than a karate chop, not to mention an occasional brick-in-the-handbag technique! Emotional, earthy, cunning, Tara is thoroughly emancipated, while remaining essentially feminine. This is her real distinction and it makes her devastating! In this stunning celebration of the Tara King era, The Avengers probe 33 colourful adventures in stunning high-definition, with a bountiful collection of vintage and new Special Features. Plus an additional disc brings together early episodes from the first two seasons of the series and audio reconstructions for Series 1 lost episodes. A second bonus disc features the worldwide Blu-ray debut of Patrick Macnee’s 1970 post-Avengers crime caper Mister Jerico, sporting a brand NEW 2K scan from the original negative.11 DISC BLU-RAY SET + 120 page collectable booklet in LIMITED EDITION HARDBOX packaging.THE AVENGERS SERIES 6 – all 33 episodes on 9 discsSpecial Features and Technical Specs: 1080p high-definition presentation from the original 35mm elements Collectable double-sided Hardbox packaging – 1500 copies onlyNEW! 120-page booklet featuring an essay by television writer / historian Andrew Pixley, and Press/Story Information from the original studio filesOriginal ‘as broadcast’ mono audio track (LPCM) and “The Avengers in Color” opening slateNEW!
