Venus Smith, the forgotten Avengers girl. She was Steed's partner in six 1963 episodes. Fascinatingly different from the other Avengers girls. She had zero combat skills but she was a useful agent. And quite charming.

The Interrogators, a great 1969 Tara King episode of The Avengers, written by Richard Harris and Brian Clemens. Christopher Lee guest stars. Starts with a British agent being interrogated by the bad guys, then the twists begin.

Today in 1964 — THE BULLWINKLE SHOW aired its last original episode on NBC.
It debuted in 1959 as ROCKY AND HIS FRIENDS on ABC, then changed title when it moved to NBC in '61.
In reruns and home video it was renamed for both moose AND squirrel!

#BuckOwens and #RoyClark started pickin' and grinnin' on HEE HAW tonight in 1969.
The countrified variety show was CBS's replacement for the abruptly cancelled SMOTHERS BROTHERS COMEDY HOUR.

Lost in Space by Dave van Arnam and Ron Archer is as its name suggests a TV tie-in novel inspired by the classic TV series. It's not a bad sci-fi novel but it really doesn't have the feel of the TV series.

A look at three episodes, all originally aired in 1973, from Brian Clemens’ horror anthology series Thriller, one of the finest ever TV series of its type. The Colour of Blood is excellent while Murder in Mind and A Place to Die are very good.
