For reasons which remain unclear until the episode's midway point, Steed and Cathy enlist the aid of veteran criminal J. P. Spagge (Patrick Magee) to rob a bank of three million pounds. Even more confusing is the fact that Cathy is subsequently arrested for Spagge's murder. Even when an "explanation" is provided, Cathy remains in dire peril -- at the hands of the man she supposedly killed. Written by Roger Marshall, "The Gilded Cage" was originally broadcast in England on November 9, 1963; American viewers were given their first glimpse of the episode on March 13, 1991. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- 1962
Steed and Cathy are sent to Jamaica to investigate the murder of a British courier. Compounding the mystery is the fact that the courier was carrying papers of no major importance. The Avengers end up following the clue trail to Buenos Aires, where they come up against a most unexpected opponent. This episode is a favorite of Avengers buffs, for reasons that will become obvious upon viewing. Written by Leonard Fincham, "Death Dispatch" was first telecast in England on December 22, 1962; it finally made it to American cable TV on February 12, 1991. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
