John Steed (Patrick Macnee) and Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) return as the incorrigible secret agents extraordinaire.Together they continue to defeat criminal masterminds and solve unfathomable mysteries in the original cult TV series The Avengers.
THE AVENGERS: THE COMPLETE SERIES 5 was seen as a game changer for two key reasons; first and foremost the transition into colour, having previously been shot in black and white, and it was also the last series starring Diana Rigg.Sure to prompt a wave of nostalgia, THE AVENGERS: THE COMPLETE SERIES 5 seven disc box set includes the complete and uncut Series 5, on Blu-ray™ for the first time, jam packed with special features, including an interview with Diana Rigg.
Shown in Great Britain for more than five years ,debuting in 1961, before it caught on in America, The Avengers is a secret-agent thriller that almost bests James Bond. This classic series follows the escapades of the eccentrically suave John Steed and the strong and sexy Emma Peel, two secret agents whose mission is to face the most mysterious and dangerous situations. Starring Patrick MacNee (The Howling, Thunder in Paradise) and Diana Rigg (HBO’s Game of Thrones, The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries).
John Steed (MacNee) works for British Intelligence, and the cases he finds are always a bit odd, just on the edge of science fiction.Steed is the ultimate in culture and grace as he saves the world each week, along with his female partner Emma Peel (Rigg). Faced with solving problems such as cyborg killers, a city built under a disused coal mine and a killer who uses a concentrated cold virus to kill his victims by having them sneeze to death, there is never a dull moment at work for this delightful duo.
