Do you want a character-driven adventure echoing classic Sword & Sorcery film and TRPGs, but also the literary style, worldbuilding and themes of the New Wave writers like Moorcock and Le Guin?

Wide + available to libraries.

After The Avengers S3, I need to find something different to watch. Either the longer episodes of Danger Man (love me some McGoohan!) or the Red Dwarf Bodysnatcher DVD boxset, which I recently picked up second-hand. I couldn't stand the 're-mastered' Red Dwarf S1-3 episodes at the time, though...

I appreciate Honor Blackman's Cathy Gale was something of a cultural phenomenon (and brilliant, too) but it's a shame that there's barely even an acknowledgment of Jon Rollason's Dr King or Julie Stevens' Venus Smith in The Avengers DVD interviews & docos for S2/3. Credit where it's due and all that

I missed Ian Hendry's Dr Keel after The Avengers S1. S2 was good, but I felt the show was trying to find its way with the rotating assistants. I liked Jon Rollason, but Dr King was clearly a cover for the absent Dr Keel (and only 3 letters to replace on the scripts!) In S3 they nailed it, though.

Finished Series 3 of The Avengers, so that's all the Cathy Gale episodes watched. I've enjoyed the whole show so far, but particularly loved Series 3 - it really felt like the series had found its stride. I'll take a break before tackling the Mrs Peel era, and watch something else instead...

Recently rekindled my passion for C18th literary criticism. Have picked up some fab 2nd hand books cheap online. Mainly ex-college / uni library. This arrived today, with a massive wave of nostalgia half glimpsed inside. #KAC @lsternetrust.bsky.social @uniwinchester.bsky.social
