30 Death's Door Wednesday 7th October 1970, 6.35pm

(1) This was a last minute replacement of a first run screening of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased): For the Girl Who Has Everything which had been shifted equally precipitately to Friday 6th March at 7.30pm. This is confirmed in several local newspapers including stop press announcements in the Huddersfield Daily Examiner of Friday 6th March 1970 and the Huddersfield Weekly Examiner of Saturday 7th March 1970.
(2) Granada technicians were on strike from 26th May to 22nd June 1970, a dispute which led to the suspension of Granada Television transmissions and Granada programmes to be withheld from other ITV broadcasters for its duration. Consequently, Granada's planned Avengers repeat screenings during this period were not transmitted.

 The New Avengers — Series 1 & 2

Granada Television transmitted The New Avengers in such a fashion that episodes from both runs of the series were intermingled to an extent during each of their repeat runs in the region. We have decided to combine the Series 1 and 2 listings and present the run as aired. Episodes are marked • (1) or •• (2), dependent upon which series they were originally a part of.

(8) Dirtier by the Dozen originally scheduled for 11.40pm on Tuesday 11th November 1980 but replaced in that slot by The Rampton Report. Some local newspapers - but not all - listed The New Avengers as following this programme at 12.10am. However, the episode's rescheduling later in the run suggests that the 1980 transmission did not go ahead.

The following episodes appear not to have been included in the package: House of Cards, Cat Amongst the Pigeons, Dirtier by the Dozen, Dead Men Are Dangerous, Medium Rare and Obsession.
