two of my favorite tv themes, both for the same show. johnny dankworth and laurie johnson. geniuses.
-
I think 3 Ian Hendry shows exist. I heard they found another a few years ago.

Yeah, plus she was actually trained in judo with a black belt--so she could really do all her own fighting--I read in an article about her that her father actually encouraged her and her siblings to learn how to defend themselves---pretty cool!

I'm not old enough to remember Honour Blackman starring in this show, in fact I still haven't seen her in an Avenger's episode. I'm very surprised that it had a different theme tune back then though
-
That was amazing, that theme song has been locked in my head for 48 years but I had no memory of the T.V. programme it came from. Thanks for putting my mind at rest!

according to wikipedia..
All original videotapes from series one, two and three, which were shot on video, were wiped.
.. or maybe not.I bet they show up youtube or somewhere

Nice anyone know where i can find d/l this theme. Thanx & i really miss these type of shows.
In the first season broadcast in 1961, Steed began as secondary character, the protagonist being Keel; as the season progressed, Steed began to be established as co-star, carrying the final episode solo. Only 2 episodes exist from the 1st season as early films were often recorded over. This is the 1962 opening.....

This isn't the 1961 theme with MacNee and Ian Hendry. Honor Blackmon wasn't on the show until Fall 1962.

This series was the base for the 1998 movie with Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman and Sean Connery. ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118661/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118661/ )
