(1) This break in transmissions
appears likely to have been due to the ITV technicians' strike that
interrupted broadcasts in all ITV regions between Saturday 3rd and
Sunday 18th August 1968 and led, after an initial blackout, to a
temporary ITV national service comprising films, imports and repeats.
(2) The Thirteenth Hole was scheduled twice, so presumably the
first scheduled screening did not go ahead in the wake of the by then
resolved technicians' strike.

A Granada Television technicians strike meant that their transmissions
and production went into abeyance between 26th May and 22nd June 1970,
and while of course The Avengers itself was not affected, the
schedule of all ITV regions was disrupted and confusion ensued. This
transmission is a good example of that confusion as The Times
gave The See-Through Man a 90-minute transmission slot starting
at 7.00pm, which was plainly a result of the loss of Granada's ITV
Network mainstay Coronation Street and was not an accurate
picture of the night's broadcasts. The Kent Evening Post
stated that This is Your Life was at 7.00pm, then The
Avengers from 7.30pm, with an episode of the imported American
comedy F Troop filling the remaining time between 8.30 and
9.00pm and Callan.

(7) It appears that Southern Television dropped Funny Man, a
Thames Television showbusiness drama starring Jimmy Jewel, partway
through its run and replaced it with unspecified episodes of The
New Avengers.
(8) Southern Television lost its right to broadcast in the 1982
ITV franchise changes, closing down forever at midnight on Thursday
31st December 1981. It was immediately replaced by new franchise holder TVS
(Television South). The repeat run of The New Avengers
continued, unaffected.
