THE AVENGERS: The Complete Emma Peel Megaset (Repackaged)

Unknown

Released: 8th October 2013 Distributor: StudioCanal/Lionsgate Number of Discs: 16 RRP: $59.95 Region Code: 1 Media: Dual Layer DVD9 Packaging: Sixteen DVDs held on trays in plastic case     Episodes — Complete Series 4 & 5: The Town of No Return The Grave-Diggers The Cybernauts Death at Bargain Prices Castle De'ath The Master Minds The Murder Market A Surfeit of H2O The Hour That Never Was Dial A Deadly Number Man-Eater of Surrey Green Two's A Crowd Too Many Christmas Trees Silent Dust The Girl from Auntie The Thirteenth Hole Quick-Quick Slow Death The Danger Makers The House That Jack Built Room Without A View Small Game for Big Hunters A Touch of Brimstone What the Butler Saw A Sense of History How to Succeed... at Murder Honey for the Prince From Venus With Love The Fear Merchants Escape in Time The See-Through Man The Bird Who Knew Too Much The Winged Avenger The Living Dead The Hidden Tiger The Correct Way to Kill Never, Never Say Die Epic The Superlative Seven A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Station Something Nasty in the Nursery The Joker Who's Who??? Return of the Cybernauts Death's Door The £50,000 Breakfast Dead Man's Treasure You Have Just Been Murdered The Positive-Negative Man Murdersville Mission... Highly Improbable Episodes — Series 6: The Forget-Me-Knot Extras: None Brief: A hugely disappointing repackage of the same old NTSC masters when superior restorations were easily available. This set, while affordable, even omits the bonus disc which was present in the 2006 Emma Peel Megaset released by A&E. The packaging is a fat plastic case containing all sixteen discs on trays, with no internal artwork. The cover erroneously professes that the set contains three complete seasons of Emma Peel episodes, drawing no doubt upon fan theories that Series 5A and 5B comprise two separate seasons. While this is arguable, it goes against the way in which the series has been issued everywhere else in the world.
