THE NEW ADVENGERS

The New Avengers is or was shall I say, a British Secret Agent Action Television series produced a during in the year, 1976 till the year, 1977.

It was a sequel to the 1960's series - THE AVENGERS (Created) by Sydney Newman and was developed by original series, producer called Albert Fennell and Brian Clemens.

The Avengers (TV Series) was a British Espionage Television series created in 1961.

Now it first went out on the 7th January 1961 and ended on the 2nd of May 1969.

But, frankly guys, I've got to tell yeah all, I wasn't really taken by the first ever series of  this...  With Steed (Patrick Mcnee) and his three different lady assistants!  The first was played by Diana Rigg as (Mrs Peel).  Then, there was (Cathy Gale) who was played by Honor Blackman.
The third one was of course, Tara King played by (Linda Thorson).

And yes!  They did make a film from this old series, it starred the very talented and beautiful Actress, (Uma Thurman).  She played someone called Emma Knight, the daughter of an industrialist, Sir John Knight.

Patrick Macnee was of course, still in this old seies, but this time he was partner with GAMBIT played by Gareth Hunt and the lovely Actress, Joanne Lumley who played PURDY

The PERSUADERS






.THE PERSUADERS!

Now, guys!  First of all I'm not that fucking OLD!  Truly I'm NOT!  Even though, if you guys, out there knows me, think to yourselves, 'But you fucking are!  I'm not really!  As, I've got a blooming good memory, to remember practically all these old series, including THE PERSUADERS!  That starred Tony Curtis and Sir Roger Moore...  Who, in the series had played these two Englishmen Millionaires from different backgrounds!!! 

But, who these two worlds had collide, when the titled, Sir Roger Moore Character Lord Brett Sinclair and Tony Curtis character that came from the Bronx-raised, self made American Danny Wilde, reluctantly join forces to right wrongf, and protect the INNOCENT. 

Paul and Harry from The Protectors






"TONY ANHOLT" AND "ROBERT VAGHN" - AS PAUL BUCHET AND HARRY RULE FROM THE OLD SERIES - "THE PROTECTORS" BACK IN 1972 -1974

Hi guys!  Well, these two Actors, were the main two that starred along side Actress, "Nyree Dawn Porter" in the original hit TV series from 1972 till 1974 "THE PROTECTORS!

And boy!  All I can say was did I flaming like these two guys that you can see above, as the Actor, "Tony Anholt" had also, starred in the SI-FI Series called "SPACE 1999!  And boy!  And as a very young girl around then, had also, thought, even that was really GOOD!!!

But, maybe that was because, I thought that Actor, "Tony Anholt" was blooming Gorgeous, as in what a darl!   And for viewers out there don't really know for what I mean, as in saying "What a darl!  Well, that just means, basically I thought that Actor, "Tony Anholt" back then, was major one hell of a SPUNK!  Which, also means viewers, I bring a youngen, thought he was HOT! 

Which, I was referring to SPACE 1999.

Even Harry Rule played by Actor, "Robert Vaughn" course, he was also quite something two...  Maybe, it was due to the fact, I also quite liked him in "The Man From U.N.C.L.E!  Even though, I had preferred "David McCullum"  Character in that series.

And even though, you guys reckon that

The PROTECTORS from the 70's






THE PROTECTORS - from 72 til 74 "ROBERT VAUGHN," "NYREE DAWN PORTER" AND "TONY ANHOLT! 

The Protectors was one secret society who was protect the innocent  and apprehend  the guilty.  It first went out on the 29th of September of 1972  till the 15th of March 1974.

Now, The PROTCTORS was once again, about a Secret society who protected the innocent and apprehend the Guilty! 

Starring, in this old well-known series then, was the Actors, "Robert Vaughn" "Nyree Dawn Porter" and finally "Tony Anholt" who had also starred in SPACE 1999 as Tony, would you believe...   And well, if you guys, didn't already know, "Robert Vaughn" starred in "THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E with Actor, "David Callum! 

But, as for the Actress, "Nyree Dawn Porter" that starred along side Robert and Tony, well really, I don't know what happened to her...  Or if she had ever starred in another hit series, like "The PROTECTORS!

The Two Donnas from Mama Mia 2






MAMMA MIA HERE WE GO AGAIN!

Well, guys, as you properly know, course I know, you're not flaming IDIOTS, this second Film was a follow-up to MAMMA MIA! That was filmed in 2018.

But, what I will tell yeah is...  This Squeal to MAMMA MIA! Is a whole lot better!!!

Course, do you wanna know sumat viewers? The first time that this Film had appeared on our Cinemas...  This girl not only got so emotional by the film, course, of growing up to listening to ABBA  but, she sang along to all the tunes that she had heard!

* But, I've got to confess the only one tune that I've never heard ABBA sang was, ANDANTE ANDANTE!  You must know viewers which one that I was just referring two???  Hey!
* As, it was that tune that "Lily James" that played the young Donna (as you can see above), along with Actress, "Meryl Streep" that played the older Donna!  Had sang to not only everyone that was there, but also, to the young Sam played by Actor, "Jeremy Irvine" in that small Greek restaurant-like!

Only, if I also, tell yeah guys, of this, while NOT only seeing this brilliant Film this Chick fucking Cried her eyes...  Because, as I truly thought it was touching and so moving!  Course, come on viewers, don't you agree with me by saying "that Film even though, it was about Donna's life it was also flaming Romantic???

As, for meeting those three young Harry, Bill and once again, Sam on her journey...  Well, what can I possibly say about each of them!  But, first of all Harry played by "Hugh Skinner" well, to me I found him to boyish-like that I'm afraid to say can't sing a flaming note, while trying to sing to ABBA'S number one hit, "Waterloo" as well as, while standing, looking out to Bill's small Boat as it was going farther and farther out with Donna!

As, for who had played the part as the older Harry!  Well, blooming hell, viewers!  You must recognize him?  Hey!  As, he played our very, very sexy (Mr Darcy), from Jane Austen's Novels "Pride and Prejudice" Actor, "Colin Firth!   Who may I say is quite a looker then!
Though, as for his singing, well, lets just say it was a bit better then, the Actor, "Pierce Bronson" which, I explain later on in this story.

*But, as for young Bill, who was played by "Josh Dylan" well, boy!  Oh boy!  Oh boy!  In my opinion, could he sing or what!!!  Whilst singing along to "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE ME?

And as for the Actor, that played the older Bill? Well, he was called, "Stellan Skarsgard... And once again, his singing wasn't to bad, then Poor "Pierce Bronson!

As, for the one that played, "Pierce Bronson" Character of "Sam" who was played by "Jeremy Irving?  Well, I really wasn't to sure what think of his singing to "KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU!  It maybe a bit better to "Pierce Bronson's" singing...  But, I heard that, the Actor, "Pierce Bronson" before, he went for the part as, Sam in this Film, didn't know that he was to sing along to the tunes of ABBA.

Course, I'm afraid to say, that he definitely hasn't got the voice for singing...  But, saying that guys, fair play to him, that he had least tried!
