The New Avengers Series 1 Episode 4 2/5

[sosadman1]

Hmm this pre-dates pulp fiction by about twenty years, with the two in the car having a casual conversation totally unrelated to the story

And I’m amazed that Joanna Lumley didn’t have a nasty accident whilst straddling that fence, brings tears to the eyes (padded shorts perhaps?)

I marvel at how Joanna Lumley did the action sequences required of her in the most INAPPRORPIATE outfits you can imagine. Her male co-star Gareth Hunt was able to where pant suits, jeans and boots whilst scaling over fences and running after the bad guys

Whilst Joanna has to wear flowing clothes, stockings, heels and on a number of occasions, skirts and dresses

Thankfully, she is graceful and athletic enough to make it work. Even the women of "Charlie's Angels" wore more sensible clothes!

@woohooboy Did you notice her foot slips on the fence but she manages to grab hold with her hand and pull her over without a problem You can clearly see the look on her face as she probably thinks she messed up (she didn't :-))

@sosadman1 - She recovered very quickly. Not only that, but I don't think she even teared or ripped her outfit. Pretty impressive. Still I would have complained if I were her. What ridiculous clothes to do action scenes in. Even the ladies from the original "Avengers" series were given more practical clothes to fight and run in.......

[sosadman1]

@woohooboy True! There is another episode where she runs around in her pyjamas which tend to slip down at very inappropriate moments; game girl.

One of the best shows on TV.

Interesting, an Aston Martin DBS becomes an Audi Coupé. Oh the magic of television. What next, a Jaguar XJ6 becoming a Ford Anglia. Oh how we laughed!
