Mike Richardson is releasing the most detailed book ever on the British TV shows 'The Avengers' and 'The New Avengers', called "Bowler Hats and Kinky Boots", which will be published by Telos Publishing. http://www.telos.co.uk/product/bowler-hats-and-kinky-boots-guide-to-the-avengers/ http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bowler-Hats-Kinky-Boots-Unauthorised/dp/1845830970/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1404214954&sr=1-1&keywords=michael+richardson Compiled from official paperwork from ABC Television, Iris Productions, Telemen Productions, ABC Television Films, The Avengers (Film & TV) Enterprises and Warner Brothers, including internal correspondence and daily progress reports, this volume gives a day by day account of how the series progressed. In addition to this information, the author has also spoken and corresponded with many people who worked on the series, thus giving the fullest picture yet of how this classic and stylish British production was assembled. This volume also covers the South African radio series and the stage play. Just to wet your appetite I can confirm that you will also discover the answers to the following… Who was the first actress considered as Ian Hendry’s replacement? Which episode of The Avengers was vetted by The Ministry of Defence before transmission? Which major member of the videotaped production was later invited to join the team at Elstree Studios making the series on film and turned it down? Before the Associated British Picture Corporation decided to fund the series on film, ABC Television considered making the series as a co-production with another ITV regional company, but which one? Besides the UK, which other country was considered for filming episodes of The Avengers? In spring 1965 Honor Blackman was offered the lead in which primetime American TV series? Which black and white Diana Rigg episode besides A Touch of Brimstone had cuts? Which director was verbally reprimanded by Albert Fennell for rewriting portions of a film series script in his lunch break? Further to this, there is the full story behind the proposed Broadway Avengers musical, the 1965 feature film project that was to have location filming in the Middle East, the 1971 stage play, the South African radio series and the 1998 feature film.
