This two-volume set uncorks six sought-after episodes from this cult classic series' fourth season. Patrick Macnee, the umbrella-toting gentleman spy John Steed, and Diana Rigg, the ravishing Mrs. Emma Peel, investigate further extraordinary goings-on in the most ordinary of places, including a swank hotel ("Room Without a View") and a golf course and dance school ("The 13th Hole" and "The Quick-Quick-Slow Death"). Suitable for framing is "The Girl from Auntie," in which an art dealer, who supplies his clients "anything for a price" (including the Mona Lisa!), kidnaps Emma for auction to enemy agents. Perhaps members of Monty Python's Flying Circus got the inspiration for their "Hell's Grannies" sketch from this episode's quaint assassin, an elderly "lady" who does in her victims (including four chaps named John, Paul, George, and... Fred) with knitting needles. For new fans, the episodes found in The Avengers '65 sets are of a better vintage, and The Avengers '67 offerings give more of a campy, effervescent kick. But '66 was still a very good year, and Avengers aficionados will, of course, want to own every episode from the Mrs. Peel era. "What's so special about Mrs. Peel?" a woman asks in "Auntie." "You'd think she was Madame Curie and a half-dozen others all rolled into one." She is, to borrow a phrase, all that. A second Avengers '66 boxed DVD set is also available. --Donald Liebenson Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Avengers '66 # 2Product exactly as advertised. Fair price. Quick delivery. What's not to like? I'll be back! Rating: - Avengers 66 Set 1 Vol.1 & 2I have always enjoyed watching the Avengers even in black & white It is really good to see the old British tv series from the 60's This like all the rest of The Avengers episodes are great to see again Dennis Rating: - A pretty good box set overall.I enjoyed most of the episodes in this box set. The one I liked the least was Small Game For Big Hunters. I guess it was because Emma didn't really play much of a role in it. My favorite was The Girl From Auntie. Which is funny because Emma didn't have a lot of air time in it. I guess I enjoyed it due to the interaction between Steed and the girl hired to replace Emma. Rating: - The Good Old StuffIn Italy The Avengers are almost unknown. The only items you can find are the season '67, '68 and '69, all in colour. So when you look for the earlier seasons, the only thing to do is buy these box from A&E Television. Very good stuff, remastered and everything, I'm very happy with this purchase. But when I look at the back of the box, I see when it's been released: 1999. Almost ten years ago. And then you understand why there is so few bonus material. No subtitles, and just a handful of little fotographs. ... Read More Rating: - Diana Rigg. The Avengers. Enough said.The Avengers. Hip. cool. suave. sexy. tongue in cheek. Emma Peel.
