Fans of the evergreen, super cool series THE AVENGERS who, like myself, were sadly unable to attend the 50th Anniversary event recently held in Chichester, might like to head over to the link below and enjoy this excellent blog from the Department of Media, where you'll see some great photos, video clips and other fun info/remembrances from the event, with fine contributions from some of the series stars and key behind the scenes players as they reminisce and celebrate a unique and landmark British TV sensation that deserves its status as one of the best series ever made, and which, like a fine wine, improves with age.
