Well knock me down with a well-aimed bowler hat, dah-dah-dah-daaaaaahh! 
The massive love there still is for 'The Avengers' comes from its style and its iconic Sixties setting. And of course, its stars.
The right new casting wiil be essential, obviously, but so imo are the other two elements - this show is perfectly of its time; modernise it and lose it.

It could be a worthy revival. But then again, television has changed a great deal since 1961. Would the Villain of the Week format even be accepted now? Or would it have to contain an over arching story arc.
And yes, I too agree it should be a period piece. Much like how Ace of Wands fit firmly in the 70s the same is true of the Swinging Sixties for the Avengers.

It seems that every few years there's a plan to revive the series! Usually,they don't progress past the planning stage. I wonder if this one will be any different, and if it does get made whether it's the end of Big Finish's Avengers range.

Off topic, but after watching the colourised Doctor Who and the Daleks I did wonder if someone might be tempted to upscale and colour Mrs Peel’s first series. |

Hopefully the Avengers range could continue. I'm just aware of what happened with the Tomorrow People range when the ill-fated American remake of that series happened. Plus it has been quite a while since the last Avengers volume was release and no future releases have been announced. |
