The Avengers

“Return of the Cybernauts” Review

31st July 2014 Simon Wood

It’s unusual for an adversary of The Avengers to make a return. The cybernauts return twice (here, and once in The New Avengers). In The Cybernauts a lot of the suspense was derived […]

The Avengers

“Who’s Who???” Review

30th July 2014 Simon Wood

Early in this colour Peel series, the first stories (all by Philip Levene) inverted sci-fi tropes. There was the alien invasion that was a hoax, the time machine that was […]

The Avengers

“The Radioactive Man” Lost Episode Review

30th July 2014 Simon Wood

This is the fourth episode for which the script exists but the video recording doesn’t, so there’s a logic to suggesting it should have been the fourth episode on the […]

The Avengers

“The Joker” Review

29th July 2014 Simon Wood

This is a remake that gets my unqualified approval. Don’t Look Behind You was an excellent episode, and this is a relatively faithful adaptation with such small changes as there are […]

The Avengers

“Please Don’t Feed The Animals” Lost Episode Review

28th July 2014 Simon Wood

Another excellent piece of stylish nonsense revived by Big Finish on audio here. There’s a leak in the cypher department at the admiralty, and the twist is that secrets are being delivered […]

The Avengers

“Something Nasty In The Nursery” Review

28th July 2014 Simon Wood

1960s psychedelia and senior civil servants with a serious nanny fixation – all taken seriously, as it should be, making for a well-crafted and satisfying episode that is better than […]

The Avengers

“A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Station” Review

27th July 2014 Simon Wood

I guess I’m a sucker for anything with a train in it, but even allowing for that this is a rather wonderful episode – with a diabolical scheme and proper […]

The Avengers

“The Superlative Seven” Review

26th July 2014 Simon Wood

So, we come to the second remake. This is both an episode based on one I thought excellent and so worthy of being remade, and an episode that I enjoyed […]

The Avengers

“Ashes of Roses” Lost Episode Review

21st July 2014 Simon Wood

The superb audio productions of four of the lost Avengers episodes from series 1 that were released back in January by Big Finish (and prompted this Avengers frenzy of mine) were […]

The Avengers

“Epic” Review

16th July 2014 Simon Wood

I’m not quite sure what to make of Epic. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about it is that it appears to document the making of Kill Bill some 36 years before that […]

Life in General

Dufftown and the Money Train

15th July 20142nd October 2018 Simon Wood

It’s funny how the product of an idea, dreamed up in a creative environment, can take on a life of its own… and end up on The Sunday Politics. A […]

The Avengers

“Never, Never Say Die” Review

15th July 2014 Simon Wood

Oh dear. Being charitable, it could be suggested that episode represents the natural evolution of The Cybernauts concept – though it’s more of a revolution, since the AI has been perfected […]
