Join us for a very special event launching Studiocanal’s brand new 4k restoration of every New Avengers episode ever filmed, soon to be available as the definitive box-set on UHD, Blu-ray or DVD. Fully restored in 4K and available from 10th November, The New Avengers is the sequel to the iconic 1960s TV series The Avengers created by Brian Clements and Albert Fennell. This witty, stylish and action-packed show full of espionage, top car chases and sci-fi thrills introduced the charismatic trio; Steed (Patrick Macnee), Purdey (Joanna Lumley) and Gambit (Gareth Hunt ) as the dynamic new spy team.
Don’t miss this chance to enjoy the return of Steed, the jaw-dropping action sequences, idiosyncratic humour and a truly iconic 1970s female lead (who really could run!) back on the big screen for one-night only.
We will take a sneak peak at a newly restored episode and a brand new extra celebrating The New Avengers from the Studiocanal release before we welcome on stage some very special guests:
