(6) The seven Series 6 episodes that went unshown during 1996 were given Friday evening slots as the remaining Series 4 episodes aired late on other nights of the week. As the run drew to a close, Channel 4 screened three or more Avengers episodes a week - the suspicion among viewers being that their licence to show The Avengers was expiring.
(7) Double-bill of episodes.
(8) My Wildest Dream scheduled but not shown as a result of the schedule changes following the sudden death of Diana, Princess of Wales.
