Steed gets a new partner in the final adventures of
Britain's long-running action series on dvd for the very
first time.
Debonair secret agent John Steed farewells Mrs. Peel and is joined by his new
partner, trainee agent Tara King – who relies less on judo and more on
feminine guile – as they battle against more extraordinary and bizarre crimes
than ever before.
Patrick Macnee and Linda Thorson as THE AVENGERS offered audiences a
fascinating escape from ordinary, uneventful existence into a world filled with
danger, excitement, humour and diabolical masterminds. Five decades later, THE
