DAY 08: A show everyone should watch
The Avengers is one of the greatest older shows that you've probably never seen. Part James Bond, part Doctor Who this show is still huge amounts of fun despite the fact that it's over 40 years old. I can only really speak for the colour series of 1967, where the main character secret agent (and perfect English gentleman) John Steed teams up with the young and brilliant Mrs. Emma Peel, but those 25 episodes alone are enough to have me highly recommend this show to anyone and everyone. Sure some of the storylines are a bit aged and the special effects and 'advanced technology' are hilariously bad by today's standards, but that all really just ads to the old-school charm of the show. Both Steed and Mrs. Peel are good, strong characters acted to perfection by the actors and the relationship shared between these two characters alone makes the show worth watching. With superbly written dialogue, no swearing, no blood (there's plenty of violence), plenty of champagne and villians who try to conquer the world - or at least the UK - by using shrinking machines, invisible men, robot soldiers, hallucinogenic drugs and bodyswap machines this show is an absolute delight from beginning to end. :)
There are a few episodes avaliable on YouTube but the selection is pretty random. This is one of my favourites that has been uploaded. Go watch it now! :D
