Customer Reviews

Mrs. Peel, it's needed!

Anyone reading this review is probably as addicted to "The Avengers" as I am. You may wonder what this book could offer that isn't found in other books already on the market. To my mind, what makes this book unique are its interviews (with Macnee, Rigg, Thorson, and Brian Clemens) and possibly the best collection of photos gathered in a single source, including everyone from Ian Hendry to Joanna Lumley. Dave Rogers' "The Complete Avengers" tells you more about the series itself, but "The Avengers Companion" has much better photographs. (And in the interviews, Linda Thorson unintentionally sheds light on why then-producer John Bryce cast her as Tara King.) This book captures the spirit of the show and can be recommended.
