John Steed and his new accomplices Purdey and Gambit find themselves facing new and deadly dangers in the bizarre world of espionage. Mixing fantasy with a darker edge, the trio face mutated giant rats, flocks of killer birds and fanatical mysterious monks. Later episodes find Steed&#39;s loyalty under question and an increasing number of assignments overseas.
As a kid this was actually my first introduction to the series, then I watched the Tara King season when it was repeated by Channel 4 in the early 80s, then I caught up with the earlier seasons via DVD.<br/><br/>Very interesting, acts almost as a bridging ep between the old Avengers and The Professionals. Very much more set in the real world than it&#39;s predecessors, uniformed policemen, drugs, poor people, the Cold War with the Soviet Union replacing some unnamed &#39;foreign power&#39;. More violent, gunfights (which Patrick McNee always tried to avoid due to his World War 2 combat experiences), car chases and fight scenes with a lot more vigour than before. Still no blood and no women getting killed (good!), still gentlemen spies and villains. The structure of 2 young agents supervised by a stern yet affectionate superior is repeated in The Professionals and Mike Gambit is very much a prototype for Bodie in a great many ways in terms of style and background. Given the success of Purdey&#39;s character it almost seems strange that they didn&#39;t try to introduce a female CI5 agents into the mix? But maybe that would have seemed too close? Of course one episode actually features future Professionals Martin Shaw and Lewis Collins as the villains, Collins remarking to Shaw that they &quot;Make a good team, we should work together again some time&quot;.<br/><br/>McNee still magnificent as ever especially in &#39;Dead Men are Dangerous&#39; which is extremely good, possibly the best ep ever. If there&#39;s a weakness to the series it&#39;s the sometimes rather ropey special effects (especially the &#39;giant&#39; rat), a lack of budget and the endlessly repeated cliché off a dying man&#39;s final words setting the team off on their adventure. The Canada eps are a little flat but no offence to the canucks 70s Canada didn&#39;t lend it&#39;s much to great drama as Brian Clemens comments. The French eps are much better, Paris lending itself to the Avengers and the idea of literal Soviet &#39;sleeper agents&#39; terrific. All told it&#39;s a classic even if very much of it&#39;s time and well worth the look.
If you were a child of the 1970s, then you will probably remember this as the definitive Avengers, and find the original rather odd. It&#39;s not to say I dislike the original, but when I watched The New Avengers in the 1970s, it had that sense of realism and style that was very formative in my younger days.<br/><br/>Technically, the 1970s saw lighter cameras and greater use of location filming, two things that made The New Avengers different from its forebear. These enabled the series to be grittier, in keeping with the mood of the time. Preserving the fanciful, &quot;British Batman&quot; ideals of the 1960s&#39; series would have gone sharply against the realism that viewers demanded in the 1970s. Britons (and plenty of people worldwide) wanted to see Britain, not a studio mock-up of it. And car chases were de rigueur. On these counts, The New Avengers delivered.<br/><br/>Purdey, not Emma Peel, was the first strong female character I knew on television. Columbia Pictures Television&#39;s Police Woman seemed phoney with Angie Dickinson getting her gun out of her handbag; it was Joanna Lumley&#39;s willingness to do her own action sequences that made her Purdey character more convincing. The fact she did her high kicks while wearing Laura Ashley, and not encased in PVC, did not seem strange; it was more her short hair that naice girls on telly did not have.<br/><br/>And because I was introduced to the Avengers&#39; mystique through this series, I have always been used to the idea of Patrick Macnee&#39;s John Steed being the elder statesman. The suggestive nature of his relationships with his female partners in the 1960s seemed inappropriate when I viewed The Avengers in re-runs (and Macnee once quipped that he felt John Steed did consummate his relationships &#39;continuously and in his spare time&#39;). The Gambit character played by Gareth Hunt was more my idea of the action-oriented British gent who had spent time in the military, though I recall both being relatively wooden, save for a few episodes.<br/><br/>The spy story lines were entertaining, and I understand the original series&#39; fans being less than impressed. But they were a clever differentiation from the typical cop shows of the decade, and even though there were some corners cut (using old footage of Diana Rigg in one episode), I never felt cheated by The New Avengers. The thriller style that Brian Clemens and his team introduced to this series kept viewers on the edge of their seats, and it must have been good enough to warrant a second season at the timeeven if the latter was partly made in France and Canada. Even then, the episodes were not as bad as some have made outContinental filming, in particular, gave me one of my earliest impressions of Europe. I don&#39;t think I had seen anything made in Canada prior to The New Avengers.<br/><br/>In many respects, The New Avengers was more a forerunner to The Professionalsone of the greatest British TV actioners madethan a successor to The Avengers. It had the same producers and very similar crews. By coincidence, The Professionals&#39; Lewis Collins and Martin Shaw guest-starred together in one episode. And, like The Professionals, it gave the sense that after an hour, you got great value. The same could not be said for most TV series of this genre today, made to please a network and an accounting firm rather than the audience.

Steed didn&#39;t normally use a firearm as Patrick McNee had an aversion to them after his wartime combat experiences as motor torpedo boat commander. However in The New Avengers he does use firearms in episodes such as &#39;Dead Men are Dangerous&#39;, &#39;The Gladiators&#39;, &#39;Hostage&#39; and &#39;Trap&#39;, killing at least 2 men. He keeps an antique Colt .45 revolver from his cowboy days as a momento in his house. The New Avengers breaks many of the traditional rules of the original Avengers such as including uniformed policemen, blood visibly on display and Steed using firearms in episodes such as &#39;Dead Men are Dangerous&#39;, &#39;The Gladiators&#39;, &#39;Hostage&#39; and &#39;Trap&#39;. Steed also keeps an antique Colt 45 from his cowboy days in his house. The lower classes are now portrayed including tramps and the central conflict is explicitly the Cold War between NATO and the Warsaw Pact rather than some unnamed &#39;foreign power&#39;. In many ways the series is seen as bridging the gap between the pure fantasy of &#39;The Avengers&#39; and the gritty realism of creator Brian Clemens&#39; next project &#39;The Professionals&#39;.  a5c7b9f00b
