Rare documentaire sur la série Chapeau melon et Bottes de cuir Introuvable en Vostfr, en dehors de la collection DVD Kiosque. Tous droits réserves à Studiocanal.
A great show. In the USA in 1968-69, the Avengers was scheduled in the same time slot on Monday evening against Rowan & Martin's Laugh In. The Avengers should have been scheduled for another day (Tuesday/Thursday/Friday) at an hour later. Also, I was glad to see The New Avengers - which was a wonderful sequel. Too bad that series did not last longer.
Steed did carry a gun at times when convenient to the story. The main thing he didn't do was drive. His driving scenes were usually his stuntman or in studio back screenshots; when he did have to drive, he stayed in second gear. I don't think he even knew how to shift those old Bentleys. Dianna Rigg did seem to like driving fast and did wreck at least one of her Lotus Elans. She commented later that she had never seen so much fiberglass scattered everywhere after crashing one. Diana Rigg actually did the driving on that ice racing part of OHMSS. The stunt driving coordinator commented that she was a natural rally car driver. That huge 427 Cougar was probably the worst car possible to drive on ice. If one looks closely, Dianna Rigg puckers her lips when really concentrating, like during that race scene.

Eh bien, c'est avec plaisir, plus d'un demi-siècle après, que j'apprends tant de choses sur cette admirable série ! Merci !

Mrs. Peel Is My Favorite! Best Stories!💙
Merci pour ce documentaire très intéressant.
This is so good. I adore the idea of Macnee's that Steed is like the Scarlett Pimpernel.
Très interessant documentaire. Merci pour ce partage.
Toute ma jeunesse
Honor Blackman-Mme Gale, tres belle.
There's only one John Steed.
Excellent documentaire a écouter avec la musique en fond de DAVE LEE : AC Soul Symphony - The Philly Avengers !!!!
Donald Monat played Steed on Springbok Radio in South Africa.
All 3 of the females were fantastic..but Diana has to get the nod (of the bowler)..
Un beau feuilleton 😊😊
Emma Peel was the best
There's only one John Steed !!!
