More adventures for super-sleuths Steed (Patrick MacNee) and Tara King (Linda Thorson). In 'Super Secret Cypher Snatch' a window cleaning firm is the front for some hypnotic thieves. 'Game' has a deranged games king force Steed to play with him in order to save Tara's life. 'False Witness' sees Mother investigate Lord Edgefield, an aristocrat suspected of corrupting and blackmailing government officials. 'Noon Doomsday' finds Steed in danger from the head of Murder International, who is now out of jail and seeking revenge. In 'The Morning After' Steed is once more making plans to capture the super-spy Merlin. 'Stay Tuned' has Steed knocked unconscious just before he is due to go on holiday, and when he awakes, Tara tells him that he has already been away. 'Love All' sees Steed and Tara investigate a suspicious char lady. Finally, in 'Take Me To Your Leader', Steed and Tara chase around London on the trail of a talking briefcase.

Most helpful review The Avengers - The Definitive Dossier 1968 - File 5 and 6

Poor quality transfers

By a customer from Yorkshire , 12 Oct 2005

[Highly rated reviewer]

I love the Avengers - one of my favourite all time TV programmes and the Linda Thorson 1968 season is no exception. However, the quality of the transfer on this DVD is shockingly bad in my opinion. It suffers from poor contrast, blurry picture, mucky original prints with no effort to clean up... very disappointing. I hope this truly great series is digitally remastered properly someday... I know results far better then this are achievable with the original material (I've seen them).

Great fun why cant our bloody tv companies do something like this again? Instead of repeating the same old dross or just cashing in on a 'popular' franchise?

Brilliant acting, brilliant direction, brilliant story. Held our attention from start to finish unlike so many modern films.
