Book excerpt: At the vanguard of a 1960s cultural revolution, The Avengers was both critically acclaimed and commercially popular. As Britain's imperial power crumbled away, the television series began to colonise the globe. Critic Rodney Marshall is the son of Avengers script writer Roger Marshall. He has written and/or edited nine books on the series. Avengerland: A Critical Guide brings the main chapters from these previous volumes under one cover. In addition to a number of general essays, the guide explores fifty of the filmed episodes in depth, analysing the show from monochrome film through 'Glorious Technicolor' to its reincarnation as The New Avengers. Avengerland is an indispensable guide for fans of this iconic show.
