The Avengers Return

The Avengers Return is a tribute to the British television series 'The Avengers' and is to be produced by Gin and Tonic Productions. It is hoped it will be also be a pitch to the revive 'The Avengers' by approaching Canal+ to licence an official pilot episode to test the concept further. The tribute web-isodes, penned potential pilot episode and folllowing three episodes have been written by writer/actor Matt E Hudson. The tribute features the partnership of John Steed and Mrs. Peel in a reboot/revival that is already building a fanbase with old and new fans and is due for release in June.

Agents John Steed (Matt E Hudson) and Mrs Emma Peel (Georgina Blackledge), are on the trail of a thief who robbed the wrong agent.


Ep: Tribute 'John Steed and Mrs Peel I Presume'

When agents John Steed (Matt E Hudson) and Mrs Emma Peel (Georgina Blackledge) are alerted to thefts at military and biotech installations, they are sent to investigate activity reported at the abandoned 'United Automation' plant.

Filming taking place on the 28th May; anyone who wants to see a glimpse of the new Steed and Peel, although out of character, you can follow them in their first informal interview either on facebook or the website.
 
Thanks for the link to the web site for the video... They look great together. Please keep us posted.
 
Want to thank a truely awesome cast and crew, for completing filming of The Avengers Return. You guys rock! xxx
 
This looks great!:techman: (and Miss Blackledge is a beauty!)

I've been watching the Peel era a lot lately and for this to come up only increases my enthusiasm and rekindled love of this show. (Is there a vintage Avengers thread somewhere handy, or should we start a new one?)
 
The official website is being updated this weekend with a new interactive panel as well.

The pages are under construction but content will be added this weekend, whilst we're waiting for the videos to be edited.
 
You can view the website homepage, the buttons work, but the pages are under construction.

Videos undergoing editing, but photo galleries will be going up for the video clips and behind the scenes, both on facebook and the site.
 
The Official website, is starting to take shape, more pages are appearing, and more to come tonight. Fifty percent of the website is working now; there are still sub menus and sub pages to be incorporated still, and hundreds of still photos to be added, but it's getting there.

We're pulling in more resources to get the videos up ASAP!

D-day here for us will be in July... it looks like we'll be approaching CANAL+ around mid or late July with our pitch. We should have both mini adventures complete by then to accompany it (The first is due for release shortly) the second is due to be filmed in a few weeks. This is going to be interesting :)
 
Those of you without facebook, 12 stills from the first shoot are up on 'The Avengers Return' website. The page has only just gone active, and is still being worked (so hence it's looking a bit barren, plenty more to add to it :) but the photos have been put up with another 10 from behind the scenes going up tonight.

NB the working title on the clapperboard, weren't taking any chances if any keen eyed fans we're about we didn't want to give away much of what was going on, or which bits we were filming. We had a lot of people taking photos of us while on location in London.
