I want to advise potential buyers of the Dutch edition listed here that this edition does not have the 64 page booklet mentioned in other reviews of the UK edition listing for this collection.
The UK edition, which is just a few quid more than the Dutch version, has the exhaustive 64 page booklet by Andrew Pixley. In my opinion, if you are interested in getting this series from the nostalgia viewpoint or even a first timer, then you will want the booklet for its very interesting and informative background to the series.
It's been well remastered and obviously shows the limitation of the 405 line videotape. But it's no worse than any other BBC 405 line recording of the period 1966-67.
If you're not bothered by the booklet, then get this Dutch edition (Dutch subtitles can be switched off as the soundtrack is English) as its a great buy.

The Avengers, The Saint, The Prisioner and all the other classic 60's series all get the usual praise and rightly so but Adam Adamant seems almost like a forgotten gem, most people will have heard of the name but wouldnt be able to place where they heard it, this is a crying shame.
Gerald Harper excels in the role of a Victorian gentlemen frozen in time by his arch nemesis 'The Face' only to be thawed out in the swinging 60's to rise again to fight crime.
Able assisted by his butler 'Simms' and 'helped' by Georgina Jones his saviour in London and now personal best friend who you suspect would like more in the relationship than Adam will give, go about solving crimes and capers in The Avengers style.
Obviously since this was a 60's BBC series you will know that it has been savaged by lost episodes etc and indeed the complete 2nd series of Adam Adamant is pratically non existant which is a shame as The Face comes back in most episodes.
As usual ' Nice one Beeb ' NOT

nice to find an old tv series at a reasonable price, to many amazon shops charge silly prices for what they consider to be retro
