[QUOTE="J. R.'s Piece, post: 207654, member: 12"] Well, yes but those things happen gradually. Remember that it is a show that evolves quite considerably from being videotaped in monochrome in a tv studio in the space of an hour (with some filmed inserts) to being videotaped over two days (to allow Honor Blackman more elaborate set piece fight sequences), to being shot on 35mm film and eventually in colour at Pinewood Studios (briefly in 1966, until Steve Forrest completed filming on The Baron and the studio space became available) but mainly at Elstree for the last 83 episodes. The tone changes. It becomes increasingly more fantasy. Steed changes. He is a lot more delightfully more manipulative in the videotaped episodes. When they first launched it on VHS , they first collection case had an episode from each series, so you may want to sample it that way, so you can get an idea of that. Or you may want to watch it in sequence. Just don’t pick Return of the Cybernauts, unless you have previously watched The Cybernauts. The above picture of Patrick, Honor, Diana and Linda is from that Lumiere 1993 launch. I’ve met most of the main cast by the way. [/QUOTE]
