Starring Patrick Mcnee, Diana Rigg, Ian Hendry and Honor Blackman

“An exciting, playful and thoroughly British take on the action genre” THE GUARDIAN

“A colourful slice of period hokum, full of flair, wit and sophistication” DEN OF GEEK

“Wacky and eccentric, and deserves its cult status” THE TELEGRAPH

On 29th January, STUDIOCANAL presents a very special event to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the ground-breaking cult sixties TV series THE AVENGERS, with an online event hosted by ourscreen, offering 5000 fans a unique chance to enjoy episodes of the show ‘together’. Starring super fan Paul O’Grady, Richard Harris (writer for the first series and for several series thereafter), Raymond Austin (original stunt coordinator of The Avengers), Dick Fiddy (archive TV Consultant at The BFI) and director Sam Clemens. Fans will be able to interact using the ourscreen live chat bar, enjoying the social experience in real time, from the comfort of home. As John Steed might say, “How absolutely splendid!”

A cultural icon of British television history, The Avengers has remained a much-loved beacon of Britishness across the world since it first aired in 1961. Famous for its bowler hats, fanciful plotlines and the glamour and sass of Mr Steed’s companions, January marks 60 years since the first episode Hot Snow aired across British TV screens, keeping viewers enthralled until 1969 after 161 episodes.

This 60th celebratory evening is a tribute to one of the most endearing British TV creations of all time and even more pertinent following the recent losses of Diana Rigg and Honor Blackman, so let’s raise our bowler hats to the marvel (ahem) that is The Avengers!
