The Avengers (TV Series)
1961 · Series · 60 min. · United Kingdom
TV Series (1961-1969). 7 Seasons. 161 Episodes. The Avengers was an British television series featuring secret agents in 1960s Britain. The programmes were made by TV company Associated British Corporation, and created by its Head of Drama Sydney Newman. Starring the very british John Steed (Patrick Macnee) and the very sexy Emma Peel (Diana Rigg), it was an early example of the spy-fi genre, combining secret agent storylines with science fiction elements. Running from 1961 to 1969, it is the longest running espionage series produced for English-language television, though the American series 'Mission: Impossible' had more episodes.
