'Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains' (1981) - Blu-ray pre-order available from [Imprint] direct - Aus $34.95

Release date: November 30

"She can’t fool all the fans all of the time…

Corinne Burns (Diane Lane) is a typical frustrated teenager living in a nowhere town until she catches punk band the Looters. Bewitched by the whole punk scene, she and her fledgling band, the Stains, join the tour, and in no time at all become media magnets. The band forms a rabid following of young girls, while Corrine begins a relationship with Looters singer Billy (Ray Winstone). As the Stains get bigger and bigger, however, Corinne’s ambition gets the better of her.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains, never received a formal theatrical release and was only seen on late-night cable, poor-quality bootlegs, or on rare occasions at film festivals. Yet somehow this 1981 film about a trio of misfit teenage girls who start a punk band went on to inspire a generation of female rockers."

Otherwise known as The Avengers. With lethal bowler hat and umbrella, killer fashion and kung fu, the secret agents investigate bizarre and colourful adventures with nonchalant efficiency, sophistication and charm.

Whilst every era of the long-running, enduringly popular and trend-setting British series has its own unique style, charm and wit, it is the Emma Peel years that have become the programme’s most iconic and recognisable, with Diana Rigg’s portrayal of Mrs. Emma Peel ushering in a new era of excitement, fashion and iconology, coupled with Patrick Macnee’s continuing depiction of the urbane and sublime John Steed.

I bought their Odd Couple collection earlier this year, which included 10 episodes of the Tony Randall/Jack Klugman tv show. I'll kill my whole family for the whole show on blu-ray (ok, not really. Maybe one or two of them )

The price is a bit steep (individual releases would have been better), I'm not sure how much better they could look (the remastered DVDs still look stunning on my 40inch tv), and I actually like season 6 more than 4 but we never get that. The New Avengers is the show that could really do with a HD remaster at this point too.
I'll wait and see if we get individual releases. That price is way too steep for something I already have in what I consider excellent quality at the moment.
