That castle at the start where the 2 guys are chasing with their fishing rods looks like the old broken down castle in that film where the guys get their hds cut off..Name escapes me atm..Connery was in it also..He had the Samurai sword..It's annoying when u can't think of the name of something, eh? Macloud of the Clan Macloud..Still can't get the film's name tho..shit!!! I know It has nowt to do with this but that's the same castle..lol..Sorry 4 my rant again!

[MrCappy4]

Yes--thanks for the upload. My theory is that when they tried to focus attention on 3 main characters it just lost the quirky momentum and charm of the relationship between Steed and his partners. Mother, Thorson actually killed the show in the first series--no slam on those actors--just made the "heart" too diffuse. Still watchable and fun if not as classic as the Rigg shows-. Tho'-sorry-Purdy and Gambit do just always seem flat and stiff. Lumley had to wait for "Absolutely Fabulous" to shine..

Thnks for the upload! Haven't seen this series since staying up late when I was a kid!

@HeWazARed 10 stars! :)

Gareth Hunt always reminded me of Timothy Dalton...lol

[Fussinated]

They borrowed Simon Templar's and Brett Sinclair's cars.

I never liked this show. Even Steed looks bored. Anybody else notice that the music gently playing in Lumley's first scene was similar to that played at the end of OHMSS (which of course she appeared in with Rigg)? D'you see the state of those wire coathangers? Peter Cushing's always worth a look, so I'll watch the rest of it just for that reason.

@mmarjisr There was nobody like Mrs Peel. Witt Woo!!! Peter Cushing also appeared with Mrs Peel and Steed in 'Return of the cybernauts' I Looove the Peel years best.

[mmarjisr]

i thought Peter Cushing was an American Actor,, than how come they never brought back miss peel

[mjcmavs]

i don't get the begining
