    The theme always seems to be on the verge of evolving into "Ground floor: perfumery. Stationery and leather goods. Wigs and haberdashery. Kitchenware and food. Going up" (the "Are You Being Served?" theme)

    As I recall, this show was filmed in Canada, for financial reasons. Everyone is saying how British it is. Still a good show.

    Back in GREECE, we had both the original "The Avengers" and the "New Avengers" on GREEK Television in the 1970s! I was HOOKED on both!! And this is one (of MANY reasons!!) that my FAVORITE genre of entertainment has ALWAYS been SPY novels, SPY movies, SPY TV series, MYSTERY novels, MYSTERY movies, and MYSTERY TV series!!!! (slightly more than my HISTORY novels, my HISTORY movies and my HISTORY TV series!!))

    Excellent theme tune, emphasising it's Britishness more strongly than its forebear. My spirits always lifted hearing it as we settled down to watch. Not quite as good a show as The Avengers (which I'd say also had the slightly better theme tune of the two), but still a great series in its own right. IMHO it was at its best with the episodes that felt most like the traditional Avengers style (bizarre/seemingly inexplicable set-ups to be resolved) and less when it was a more traditional adventure series (edging towards stories that might not have been out of place in The Professionals, say). :-)
