The original with Moore, or the Return of the Saint with Ogilvy?
Would start off with Simon Templar talking direct to the viewer with some trivia such as how exotic the French Riviera was when he would be interrupted by some incident or other kicking off and then the theme music kicked in.

The Avengers had one of the iconic themes of the 60's. I started watching during the Diana Rigg / Emma Peel era.
The plots were usually wacky.

As beautiful as Joanna Lumley/ Purdey was (The New Avengers), I"ll take Miss Peel thank you.
That's MRS Peel to you 😃

They gave her that Emma Peel name as a kind of sex symbol pun on 'male appeal' apparently.

I used to win a fortune on those pub trivia machines in my early 20s by trawling town for any pub that had one with my mate when we were unemployed. I'm just full of shite pointless knowledge as my missus keeps telling me.

In those days, dole was about forty quid a week but me and my mate would jackpot one trivia machine after another up town and could easily make £80 a day. Some days we even used to get the bus to Blackpool and wipe out the trivia machines there, too. Great days. 'Blockbusters' and 'Give us a break' were the easiest machines and every Monday the machines up town would be rammed with money from all the piss heads filling them up on Friday and Saturday nights, so the jackpots were always set lower!I used to win a fortune on those pub trivia machines in my early 20s by trawling town for any pub that had one with my mate when we were unemployed.
