The Three Handed Game

@thgpodcast.bsky.social

Celebrating the 1960s icon that is The Avengers, we select triptychs of episodes based around specific themes of the 1960s and today. This is a commentary podcast best listened to with the accompanying episode on DVD, Blu Ray, or streaming.

A quick rough comparison of shots from To Catch a Rat from the Optimum DVD and the new HD trailer. Some caveats: The first three are from the opening titles of To Catch a Rat, so the DVD looks worse than the relevant episodes. The shots aren't exact frame matches as I wanted to be quick.

A collection of comparison images between the earlier DVD release and upcoming Blu Ray of The New Avengers: To Catch a Rat.

The New Avengers- finally coming Blu Ray (and DVD and 4K!) with loads of new special features. Audition footage, interviews from the Chichester convention, and 10 commentaries, including Joanna Lumley on Sleeper and the late Gareth Hunt on The Eagle's Nest and Dead Men are Dangerous!

Packaging shot for The New Avengers Blu Ray, featuring an orange outer box, two digipacks, a collector's edition booklet and comic, and ten discs.

If I had a dollar for every time a Season 2 Avengers co-star ended up on a cruise ship with a secret mission, I’d have three dollars, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened to all of them.

Sadly, Bristow himself has been making merry with our latest recording, resulting in some missing pieces so we’ll need to find time to set up the board again later this month to finish the Game. We will have a new ep next week though- stay tuned!* *not the title of the episode

Bristow (Peter Jeffrey) from The Avengers episode Game, looking smug. It’s probably due to the red and silver flocked wallpaper behind him.
