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?

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...
