Download or read book Avengerland Regained written by Rodney Marshall and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Avengers was a unique, genre-defying television series which blurred the traditional boundaries between 'light entertainment' and disturbing drama. It was a product of the constantly-evolving 1960s yet retains a timeless charm. The creation of The New Avengers, in 1976, saw John Steed re-emerge, alongside two younger co-leads: sophisticated action girl Purdey and Gambit, a 'hard man' with a soft centre. The cultural context had changed - including the technology, music, fashions, cars, fighting styles and television drama itself - but Avengerland was able to re-establish itself. Nazi invaders, a third wave of cybernauts, Hitchcockian killer birds, a sleeping city, giant rat, a deadly health spa, a skyscraper with a destructive mind...The 1970s series is, paradoxically, both new yet also part of the rich, innovative Avengers history. Avengerland Regained draws on the knowledge of a broad range of experts and fans as it explores the final vintage of The Avengers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avengerland Revisited offers the definitive guide to this iconic series, with the filmed era of the show reviewed from every possible angle.

Avengers veterans Roger Marshall and Raymond Austin offer insiders' views and Alan Hayes pays homage to the late, great Patrick Macnee. The Avengers is a unique, genre-defying television series which blurs the traditional boundaries between 'light entertainment' and subversive drama.

Download or read book Day of Execution written by Rodney Marshall and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Television drama is frequently marginalised as a piece of fleeting popular culture rather than 'a more lasting art form'. The emergence of television studies has helped to question this mind-set. Innovative television drama can rival any field of the arts in terms of material worthy of critical exploration. This series of books focuses on 'outstanding' examples of British television dramas, centring on a single episode in an attempt to explain what makes both the episode in particular, and the series in general, remarkable. The social context, script, characters sets/locations, music, and direction are all focal points. This Classic British Television Drama (CBTD) series of books continues with an exploration of Man in a Suitcase's episode Day of Execution. Elements of Cold War espionage, American gumshoe, British thriller and 'Swinging' London combine in a series which is hard to define and was, arguably, ahead of its time.

Book excerpt: The Avengers was a unique, genre-defying television series which blurred the traditional boundaries between 'light entertainment' and disturbing drama. It was a product of the constantly-evolving 1960s yet retains a timeless charm. The arrival of Tara King and Mother saw The Avengers shaken and stirred, as writers and directors playfully engaged with a variety of film and television genres. Steed and Tara face increasingly odd adventures and dangers: killer clowns, a giant nose, love drugs, deadly board games, duplicate Steeds, Victorian fog, an underground 'paradise', and vengeful Home Counties cowboys. Anticlockwise draws on the knowledge of a broad range of experts and fans of The Avengers as it explores the surreal, unpredictable, psychedelic world of Tara King. "The Avengers challenged audiences to enjoy art beyond the ordinary." (Matthew Lee) "The Avengers is a wonderful example of avoiding the tyranny of common sense." (Robert Fuest)

Download or read book Travelling Man: A Critical Guide written by Rodney Marshall and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing inspiration from the private detective and Western genres, as well as the cult 1960s series The Fugitive, Roger Marshall's mid-1980s drama Travelling Man was both critically acclaimed and commercially popular, drawing audiences of up to 13.2 million viewers. Ex-Drugs Squad detective and jailbird Alan Lomax is a fascinatingly flawed protagonist, but it is the setting of the canals and inland waterways of Britain which provide the unique charm of Travelling Man, offering the perfect backdrop for Lomax's nomadic quests. The canals also dictate the show's leisured pace. Avengers expert Rodney Marshall offers a critical guide to all thirteen episodes, exploring the scripts, direction, characterisation, acting and music. ""One thing about quiet waterways, you can hear footsteps.""

Download or read book Subversive Champagne written by Rodney Marshall and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-01-03 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subversive Champagne re-examines the 1960s cult television series, The Avengers, through a close analysis of 25 filmed episodes. The book examines how The Avengers - during the classic Emma Peel era (1964-1967) - was continually shifting the boundaries of audience expectation, defying both genre classification and viewers' traditional desire for kitchen sink drama. Subversive Champagne centres on eighteen episodes from the monochrome Peel Season 4 - widely acknowledged as the artistic pinnacle of the series. It is in this era - caught between video-tape and colour film - that The Avengers was undergoing arguably its most profound stylistic and thematic transitions, from mild eccentricity to something genuinely experimental. The author extends his journey into the exhilarating but 'uneven' colour Season 5, adding chapters on seven more episodes, thus allowing us to explore the entire Emma Peel era. Entertaining froth or groundbreaking art? Rediscover the most iconic show in television history.

Download or read book Mrs. Peel, We're Needed written by Rodney Marshall and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-12-13 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Avengers was a unique, genre-defying television series which blurred the traditional boundaries between 'light entertainment' and disturbing drama. It was a product of the constantly-evolving 1960s yet retains a timeless charm. The monochrome filmed Emma Peel season had established a cult following for a series which became an intrinsic part of the 'Swinging Sixties'. Backed by US dollars, the show was now filmed 'in color' and Avengerland becomes stranger and more playful than ever: Steed is shrunk to the size of a desk pad, forced to evade a machine-gun-toting nanny; Emma Peel is tortured in a medieval ducking stool and turned into a living cybernaut. Mrs. Peel, We're Needed draws on the knowledge of a broad range of experts and fans of The Avengers as it explores the wonderfully mad Technicolor world of Emma Peel.

Book excerpt: The Avengers was a unique, genre-defying television series which blurred the traditional boundaries between 'light entertainment' and disturbing drama. It was a product of the constantly-evolving 1960s yet retains a timeless charm. At the crossroads between the Cathy Gale-era stricture of video tape and the glossy, surreal, comic-strip world of 'glorious Technicolor', the monochrome filmed Emma Peel season represents the artistic pinnacle of a show which was exported around the world and remains the only British television drama to be networked at 'primetime' in the USA. Bright Horizons draws on the knowledge of a broad range of experts and fans of The Avengers - including scriptwriter Roger Marshall - offering critical explorations of all twenty-six 'mini-films' which made up Season 4, the collective peak of an extraordinary television series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essential Cult TV Reader is a collection of insightful essays that examine television shows that amass engaged, active fan bases by employing an imaginative approach to programming. Once defined by limited viewership, cult TV has developed its own identity, with some shows gaining large, mainstream audiences. By exploring the defining characteristics of cult TV, The Essential Cult TV Reader traces the development of this once obscure form and explains how cult TV achieved its current status as legitimate television. The essays explore a wide range of cult programs, from early shows such as Star Trek, The Avengers, Dark Shadows, and The Twilight Zone to popular contemporary shows such as Lost, Dexter, and 24, addressing the cultural context that allowed the development of the phenomenon. The contributors investigate the obligations of cult series to their fans, the relationship of camp and cult, the effects of DVD releases and the Internet, and the globalization of cult TV. The Essential Cult TV Reader answers many of the questions surrounding the form while revealing emerging debates on its future.
