Bright Horizons draws on the knowledge of a broad range of experts
and fans of The Avengers - including scriptwriter Roger Marshall -
offering critical explorations of all twenty-six 'mini-films' which
made up Season 4, the collective peak of an extraordinary
television series. The Avengers was a unique, genre-defying
television series which blurred the traditional boundaries between
'light entertainment' and disturbing drama. It was a product of the
constantly-evolving 1960s yet retains a timeless charm. At the
crossroads between the Cathy Gale-era stricture of video tape and
the glossy, surreal, comic-strip world of 'glorious Technicolor',
the monochrome filmed Emma Peel season represents the artistic
pinnacle of a show which was exported around the world and remains
the only British television drama to be networked at 'primetime' in
the USA. "Such sheer hard sweat, blood and tears went into it and
such beautiful humour, wit and sexiness came out of it. In that way
- for all its fantasy - it's closer to everyday human feelings than
soaps or Shakespeare." (Frank Shailes) Edited by the author of the
popular Subversive Champagne, Bright Horizons represents the first
part in a unique, exciting four volume collection covering every
single one of the 109 filmed Avengers episodes.
