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. The creation of The New
Avengers, in 1976, saw John Steed re-emerge, alongside two younger
co-leads: sophisticated action girl Purdey and Gambit, a 'hard man'
with a soft centre. The cultural context had changed - including
the technology, music, fashions, cars, fighting styles and
television drama itself - but Avengerland was able to re-establish
itself. Nazi invaders, a third wave of cybernauts, Hitchcockian
killer birds, a sleeping city, giant rat, a deadly health spa, a
skyscraper with a destructive mind...The 1970s series is,
paradoxically, both new yet also part of the rich, innovative
Avengers history. Avengerland Regained draws on the knowledge of a
broad range of experts and fans as it explores the final vintage of
The Avengers.
