“Split!” Review
A somewhat routine episode, with a mildly interesting plot concerning a kind of partial mind transfer that is hugely compromised by Who’s Who??? in which a far more sophisticated form of […]

“You’ll Catch Your Death” Review
In theory we have the ingredients here for what should be a solid episode. The plot concerns what looks, to modern eyes, very much like an anthrax scare. Okay, so […]
Avenging August
A bit slack on my viewing this month – but it is the summer hols! Mopped up the end of series 5 with it’s more sober tone, and then veered […]
“Super Secret Cypher Snatch” Review
This really is a well-crafted and entertaining episode. Something of a surprise, because it didn’t stand out in my memory – and it’s certainly not a classic, or one of […]
“Game” Review
Visually daring, with its surreal epic versions of board games, but conservative in terms of plot, this episode is entertaining if only because it’s Avengers by numbers. From the opening, […]
“The Forget-Me-Knot” Review
And so we bid farewell to Mrs Peel. There’s always a danger that everyone will hate the episode in which a well-loved character is written out, so I want to […]
“Mission… Highly Improbable” Review
My main complaint against this one I’ve already articulated in discussing Who’s Who??? At one end of this season the show took a rational, sceptical approach to sci-fi tropes using them as […]
“Murdersville” Review
Holy Zarquon, this is good. How come it’s been so long since I watched this? No wonder I named my blog after it, I obviously had excellent taste back then… […]
“The Positive Negative Man” Review
Who hasn’t, while wearing rubber souled shoes, linked hands with fellow schoolmates to form a chain with the boy or girl on one end clutching the classroom’s metal doorknob, while […]
“You Have Just Been Murdered” Review
The last of those rare beasts: a Mrs Peel episode I’ve not seen before. The opening’s great, full of tension, as a man is threatened by an intruder. We see […]
“Dead Man’s Treasure” Review
This is basically just an excuse to chase around the countryside in lots of cool cars and have lots of location shots – which is great, because it’s highly entertaining. […]
“The £50,000 Breakfast” Review
The last of the remakes goes the furthest back in The Avengers history for its source – Death of a Great Dane, the only series 2 episode to be remade (the […]
