Brian Clemens, responsible for hit shows including The Avengers, The New Avengers and The Professionals, has died aged 83. His son George said he died in hospital in London on Saturday.
He also wrote
The Watcher in the Woods and
Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter, which are fun, if flawed, films.

I used to have the entirety of the show (but not the movie that didn't come out in the late 90's and didn't star Fiennes and Thurman because that movie never happened) on VHS tapes. It was good silly fun. I wonder if it has been put on DVD yet.

Yup. There's a 16-DVD, 51-episode "Emma Peel Megaset" boxed set, released in 2013. $50 list, $43.21 from my preferred online vendor for such things (cdconnection.com), less than that if you buy it through WalMart

Heh. That used to list for well over a hundred bucks.
