Format:DVD
Overlook some of the dubious production values (use of video tape, etc) and the third series of The Avengers marks a welcome contrast to the increasingly fantastical bent of later years. The dialogue is crisp and timeless, Patrick Macnee feels an altogether fresher and more dangerous male lead, and Honor Blackman is just irresistibly demure. An Avengers 'woman', not a '- girl'. If I had a time machine I would go back and marry her...I'd try it anyway.

Format:DVD
It's a well-known classic TV-Show here in Austria. But we never got acquainted with Mrs Cathy Gale. The show became cult when Mrs Emma Peel entered the scene... so for me watching the Gale-eps was a very interesting and entertaining experience! The show was so different during the Steed/Gale-era from what I'm used to see when I tuned in to see "The Avengers". The "Optimum"-DVD-release simply is great and worth every Euro I invested in! The digitally restored episodes are a pleasure to watch and there are worlds in between the videotape- and first DVD-releases! The extras are superb: audio commentaries, filmed introductions by Honor Blackman and Patrick Macnee and much more. From one Avengerphile to the other: Don't waste time - buy it! You won't regret it!!! THANKS SO MUCH "Optimum" and JAZ WISEMAN for all the extra-ordinary effort you all put in!

The Avengers 3 3 Aug 2011
By Ms. M. Potter TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Immaculately dressed in a three-piece suit, Steed oozes class. He lives in a select London District, drives a vintage Bentley and insists on his coffee being stirred ant-clockwise. His manners are impeccable. He has a sword hidden in his umbrella, which he can use to defend himself. At the same time he has the utmost courtesy to his adversary. He also has a protective bowler hat.

In this fabulous series three of The Avengers the character Cathy Gale (Honour Blackman), a widowed anthropologist and Judo expert is partner to Steed throughout. We also see the story lines go from mundane detective work and counter intelligence to futuristic international intrigue.
Cathy Gale is different from other female characters of the time. She often is dressed in tight black leather and "kinky boots".
The show still has rawness in its production style and presentation but things have improved. The plot lines are more interesting and it is a much better show than series one and two.

The theme music is by Johnny Dankworth. There are some good bonus features, The individual DVD cases fit far too tight into the outer box and there are no subtitles. Also the picture and sound are from video film source and not the greatest quality.

The season three DVD set of the Avengers makes an interesting and entertaining piece of vintage TV. This is the season to truly start investigating the world of the Avengers. Generally this is a great show.

Very Good
Ordered for my husband as an alternative to the dreary TV offerings over Christmas, it did not disappoint. Ideal for those who remember television before it came unwatchable.

In spite of a lack of later technical advances which has added to the 'theatrical' nature of The Avengers Series 2-3, the character of Dr Cathy Gale is truly breathtaking. Read more
