THUNDERBALLS! THE RETURN OF "ARCHER"

From ARCHER with love! Images: FX.

That barely comptent spy with the inflated ego, drink problem and mommy issues- ARCHER: an agent for the ISIS organisation who, unlike James Bond and Napoleon Solo, has a license to bore to death, is back for more animated comedy delights in Season Three of the offbeat and highly enjoyable comedy series/adult spoof of all our favourite secret agent heroes, heroines and eye patched baddies, about to begin new episode screenings in the US on FX from January 19th (and presumably on FIVE USA in the UK in the not too distant future, too).

Burt Reynolds is captured, but can Archer be bothered to help?!

This time around the series gets more of a story arc with Sterling Malory Archer (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin), codenamed Duchess, missing in (in)action since the murder of his fiancee on their wedding day (sound familiar?), literally having to be forced back to his day job after enjoying life as a Pirate King on a tropical island! From then on in, the trials and tribulations of being all-things spy worsen as strong willed mum Malory (voiced with gusto and biting superiority by Jessica Walters) begins dating Burt Reynolds (yes, the real Burt Reynold, who makes a welcome guest star turn in the series!), much to her waywardly vain son's dismay. And look out for an upcoming episode with BREAKING BAD's Bryan Cranston, too, who'll be lending his vocal range as a baddie astronaut later in the season, for a two-part plot which sends Archer into space!
