And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I have most of the Avenger DVDs and watch them on occasion. Yup they're dated, corny and in Black & White mostly. Diana Rigg was the hottest woman on the tube in the day (1963). I was in love with her! I still get a loin tingle watching her in the skin-tight outfits.
Absolutely the best opening sequence, along with the musical score, of any show on TV at the time. Most of the time the plot went downhill after that. How many deserted WWII airfields could they use in filming without it getting stale? And I agree that Diana Rigg was the perfect Emma Peel.
I liked The Avengers, though it dates me (but not as much as Diana Rigg)

ReplyDeleteI loved that show, along with The Prisoner, Man From Uncle, Star Trek, Time Tunnel etc. etc. etc. You get the picture...

I love this, but I think you're referring to Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014) which featured bullet-proof umbrellas.
ReplyDeleteA great fun flick, where a politician named Barak Hussein Obama, among others, got his head blown up; ahhh. If only!
Game of Thrones is a bit more Dungeons & Dragons-like.
