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.
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.
