  • I also enjoyed Ogilvy's guest stint on the final series of The Avengers. He was kind of a younger, more mod Steed and was a perfect complement to Tara King in that episode. Kind of a New Avengers before there was one.

  • I've seen several comments that GF is still considered the iconic film that is most accessible. Is it though among very young and new fans to the series or even younger movie fans in general? GF reminds me of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hea…
