The Avengers 4x01 The Town of No Return 1/5

[steveJ1957]

I Love this episode  :-)

[bazeye]

This clip contains two of the least curious people in TV land, firstly the fisherman for obvious reasons and then Mrs Peel, it took her until they were on the train before she asked why they were going to her to Little Baisley by the Sea.

[azrair]

What is 'mother' doing on the train? and he is not crippled. :) Guess they chose to cast the same guy for later seasons as 'mother'

[saveme7eebu5]

On the train. Steed's reading a book called Great Disappearing Acts. Mrs Peel's magazine looks like it says Premature Ejaculation. 

[OnCloudNine62]

@saveme7eebu5 Hahaha!!

[theredandbluealbums]

I will fence with ONE person. Seriously, who disliked this?

[theredandbluealbums]

Simply the most wonderful and unforgettable duo next to Max & 99, and one of the most perfect spy shows in TV history

[slobomotion]

Those boots she wears during the fencing scenes were my favorites. I was just obsessed with those. I was wearing a pair like that on the Bowery and Joey Ramone spotted me and I got a date on the spot with him! Just a drink at Gildersleeve's but . . . it's the details, love, it's the details. The black leather never hurt, either.

[priapus56]

@slobomotion How dreadfully pleased you sound with yourself! I bet its the longest love affair you've ever had.. you and you... Forget yourself once in awhile..as Steed says, "Friendly advice."

[slobomotion]

@priapus56 It's art. It's a living. It's passion.  Check me out as "Lisa Baumgardner" in MODERN WOMEN by The Museum of Modern Art, if you care to. "His servitude was his own idea." It's been a gas! I'm Amish, by the way. I probably have more serious objectivity than you might think. I think Steed was utterly tickled with himself, don't you? Remember when he went to butling school? Perhaps I'm not priapic enough to suit you. "Next?!"

[ougalin]

La prise de contact entre Emme Peel et John Steed est remplie de sous-entendus, le bout de parapluie ouvrant l'oeil avec les sourcils fournis, la lame du bonhomme sur les fesses, la belle dame enfermée dans le tissu du rideau en se débattant, en traduisant : - C'était un très sale coup.- Oui, mais je n'avais pas promis d'être régulier!.

L'inoubliable saison 65-66 est magnifiquement lancée, elle tiendra ses promesses.

[bjroberts65]

BEST show...EVER!!!

[priapus56]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!

[Francesko263]

John Steed was a true gentleman and Emma was a real babe.

[scotpens]

4:24 -- Lovely butt shot. I didn't remember Diana Rigg's outfit being open in back all the way down to her derriere. Maybe those shots were cut for American television?

[priapus56]

@scotpens You wanna see..Mrs Peel Queen of Sin, mate..oh! My Gord!!

[slobomotion]

@priapus56 Heh heh heh. Quite an inspiration to me, a girl from Ohio. I was voted NYC's best dominatrix of the 1980s by an independent panel of men's magazine editors in the '90s! I did bondage modeling, too, had a career longer than Bettie Page's (worked with some people who'd known her!) It was funny, cuz I DID get recognized, but what could they say, in the Halls of Commerce? Naughty, naughty me. xo

[puddypuss]

the teacher juliet harmon is also adam adamants companion in the series.

[whiteflag1000]

The English and their tea :-) so funny and nice.

[Bladerunner93]

Steed's bag reminds me of Mary Poppins

[MrsEmmaPeel07]

@Bladerunner93

His bag reminds me of Mary Poppins too. LOL!!! :D

[SHOCKSandSTRUTS]

Emma Peel....Absolute Perfection !!!

[dramaticguy]

Its funny to think this episode was orginally filmed with an actress called Elisabeth Shepherd as Mrs Peel then they changed their minds,cast the fantastic Diana Rigg as Mrs Peel and re shot the episode.

[madmax8903]

Diana Rigg's first appearance, and what an introduction! The barman's Carry On laugh was hilarious, all the more so for being apparently totally out of place.

[rlb2k1]

Very cool series. I remember back in the day watching Avengers reruns. Bring on the nostalgia.

[swollower]

the guy on the train played "Mother" in the prisoner!

[lordcongi]

@swollower the guy on the train played 'Mother' in the Linda Thorson era of Avengers.

[stationranger]

@swollower

The man on the train (Patrick Newell) played Mother for 21 episodes on The Avengers during the 1968-69 season. While he did make two appearances on The Secret Agent starring Patrick Mcgoohan, Newell never appeared in The Prisoner.

[L88BS]

Every other Youtuber should pack it in . . .this is without doubt the classiest collection online. Well done

[flanneryged]

These Episodes captured the mood of the times perfectly didn't they??,quite delightful and very very watchable.I would never miss them if they were on TV Today,

and I am sure there are plenty more who feel the same.

[maximuscomfort]

first class including the steam train.

[Galeytv]

D�wnl�ad this in awesome quality now just Search Google  'TheNewsBuzz"

[PhotoGalleria]

They don't make women like that anymore...aah!

[Knaplong]

This show will live on for decades, even centuries, to come!

[TheLMAOChannel]

MRs Peeeeelll! My favourite female avenger of all!

[misspink102]

My mum grew up in the 60s and loved this show. She was always telling me i had to see it, and i watched one episode and got hooked. One of the best tv shows ever made.

[OnCloudNine62]

One of my favorite episodes! thanks!

[7024Js]

Have you got the Episode "The Positive Negative Man"?

[unhooked25]

I wish they did beacause that was a good one.

[ArtyEffem]

He's Patrick Newell who later played 'Mother' in the Thorson series.

[avengergurl1]

Well, Cyclops creep me out so pretty much that big eye was kind of weird.

[vegetables88]

Was anyone else ever creeped out by the eye on Mrs. Peel's door? lol b/c as a kid I definitely was!

[weenyone]

Here here. 45 years on and still very watchable

[POPUPNIGHTMARE]

Best Show Ever!!!

[dinobrya]

I was not digging on the New Avengers. But the Avengers is certainly a superior show to what I have lately in my humble opinion. The South African Radio version was very good--although it did take some liberties with the characters.

[ornleifs]

Simply Fantastic, the lovely Emma Peel, Fencing and High quality afternoon tea all in one, Brilliant.

[alison528]

Love this ep! I have it on DVD. In fact, this is the inspiration behind a fan fic story I am writing with original characters. BTW: The fat actor's name was Patrick Newell, and he did the character of "Mother" in the Avengers, but also a character in a movie "Young Sherlock Holmes".

[straycoolcat]

Timeless.

[LadyViewer]

I love watching the Avengers!!

LadyViewer

[beccaleah]

[jmacleve]

[berugaslabor]

[CaptainBuckRogers]

The thug is the beard who's the blacksmith is Robert Brown. He played M in a few Roger Moore 007 movies.
