The New Avengers - 1976 - 6/10
Agents Purdey and Gambit flank the man in charge, John Steed.
Half dozen years after the collapse of the original series, the franchise is rebooted for the 1970’s.
More action oriented, rapid paced, and Joanna Lumley returns the female agent to lethal capability.
Earlier episodes possibly the best, as they are more straight-forward and less campy.
While this never gets as silly as the final years of the original, the plots do grow far-fetched.
The action is very good, Lumley and Hunt did their own stunts.
Ironically, the States found the series too violent for prime time.
