Eccentric, ironic and fantastic series like The Avengers and Danger
Man, with their professional secret agents, or The Saint and The
Persuaders, featuring flamboyant crime-fighters, still inspire
mainstream and cult followings. Saints and Avengers explores and
celebrates this television genre for the first time. Saints and
Avengers uses case studies to look, for example, at the adventure
series' representations of national identity and the world of the
sixties and seventies. Chapman also proves his central thesis: that
this particular type of thriller was a historically and culturally
defined generic type, with enduring appeal, as the current vogue
for remaking them as big budget films attests.
