As with my previous blogs for TheAvengers sequel show, season two's
original transmission dates are approx-
imate because the programme was never
truly networked - some TV regions didn't
adhere to the same transmission order.
Patrick Macnee, Gareth Hunt, and Joanna
Lumley returned for thirteen episodes -
originally broadcast in the autumn of
1977. The team's final four assignments were filmed in Ontario, and marketed as
The New Avengers in Canada.
A repeat run of the second and final
series concluded on Great! TV last night
- it featured a total of thirty-four Doctor
