Bright Horizons: The Monochrome World of Emma Peel (The Avengers on Film)

Edited by the author of the popular Subversive Champagne, Bright Horizons represents the first part in a unique, exciting five volume collection covering every single one of the 109 filmed Avengers episodes. Now includes 50 page quotation glossary. Bright Horizons draws on the knowledge of a broad range of experts and fans of The Avengers â€“ including scriptwriter Roger Marshall â€“ offering critical explorations of all twenty-six â€˜mini-filmsâ€™ which made up Season 4, the collective peak of an extraordinary television series. The Avengers was a unique, genre-defying television series which blurred the traditional boundaries between â€˜light entertainmentâ€™ and disturbing drama. It was a product of the constantly-evolving 1960s yet retains a timeless charm. At the crossroads between the Cathy Gale-era stricture of video tape and the glossy, surreal, comic-strip world of â€˜glorious Technicolorâ€™, the monochrome filmed Emma Peel season represents the artistic pinnacle of a show which was exported around the world and remains the only British television drama to be networked at â€˜primetimeâ€™ in the USA. â€œSuch sheer hard sweat, blood and tears went into it and such beautiful humour, wit and sexiness came out of it. In that way â€“ for all its fantasy â€“ itâ€™s closer to everyday human feelings than soaps or Shakespeare.â€ (Frank Shailes)
