Fings ain't wot they used to be., 3 Oct 2004
Loved the series originally and bought this video at a boot fair 8 years ago for £5-00. Great investment, which took me back to the happy days of the 1960's, bad sets, average baddies crazy titles, but the lovely Juliet Harmer made up for it all and I remembered all over again, how much in love with her I was, along with Emma Peel, Cathy Gale etc.etc. I wanted to get more of this wonderful old series & contacted the Beeb, who for some crazy reason, said, they are not releasing any more. Boo hoo! I contacted someone on the internet and for the postage and two blank tapes he very kindly, copied me a number of the episodes, however, some are such poor quality so as to be unwatchable, but it would be great if more of this innovative series was restored and released, and we could all see the dashing Adam Adamant, the funny & clever Mr. Sims but most of all, the gorgeous Juliet Harmer in the guise of the lovely Miss jones! Why they haven't brought more out I'll never know and if they ever did, I'll eat my feet!There is still an awful lot of interest in this show to be found on the internet, and it is crying out to be re released, there are episode lists, cast details, information etc, but the lovely Juliet Harmer has vanished, Mr. Sims, was probably beaten to death by his Punch & Judy or maybe even by Richard & Judy, but whatever his fate, be he dead or alive,there is one thing we can be sure of: -
ADAM ADAMANT LIVES!!!

The BBC's answer to The Avengers., 17 Dec 2000
By A Customer
The show, broadcast from 1966-67, featured Gerald Harper in the role of the Edwardian-out-of-time Adam Adamant. The man from 1902, who finds himself suddenly in 1966 after being frozen in ice by his arch nemesis, soon finds trusty companions; the 60s chick Georgina Jones played by Juliet Harmer, and the eccentric entertainer William Simms played by Jack May. As the fab chick Georgina would say, it was a groovy combination.

Good Sixties Nostalgia, 16 Dec 2003
By A Customer
I was only a boy when I first saw this and I don't remember it being in black & white. That's not really a problem but the general cheap look is. In particular, the studio scenes seem to be missing something; they certainly don't have the lavishness of The Saint, say, or the Avengers (Emma Peel era).In spite of this I still enjoyed these two episodes (why not more). The storylines are interesting and Gerald Harper is very good in the main role.
