The Avengers Forever: Website News Archive

	Website News Archive October 1998

31 Major update: The one and only Ian Hendry episode known to exist, "The Frighteners," now has a full review with images. Acquiring this episode also allowed me to upgrade the David Keel Behind the Scenes page with some new graphics. Added another link. And thanks once again to the Hitesmans.

28 J.P. Hitesman is on a mission to find all of my typos. I suppose someone had to do it sooner or later!

27 Thanks once again to J.P. Hitesman for spotting more doppelgangers.

24 I've "reset the clock" on the review page updates, and added a couple more new links and some visitor comments.

17 The FAQs page has several more topics. Added quite a few new links.

16 Thanks to site visitor J.P. Hitesman's sharp eye, several new doppelgangers have been added, including a new entry on the Doppelgangers pages. Also added a few new links.

15 I've added a feedback form so you don't need email to submit your comments or questions. Look for the new FEEDBACK link at the bottom of every page at the site (that's 266 of them).

14 Cathy Gale's bio is done. Also updated a few Cathy Gale episode pages.

13 Surprise! The bios for Steed and Emma are done. More to come. Interested in an official Avengers calendar? See the links page.

12 Another visit from Nick Lewin has resulted in a wonderful bit of trivia on a Cathy Gale episode. I've split up the burgeoning feedback page into two. Added a few new links. Added some interesting audio clips to the actor biographies—Linda Thorson's is particularly fun. Started work on character bios—should be up in a few days to a week.

11 Added a new section to the Who's Who page: Biographies. Most all of the regular cast members are featured. (I'm having difficulty getting any info on Julie Stevens.)

8 Pretty much finished updating the Emma Peel pages with body counts and sounds.

7 Several more Rigg Color pages have been updated with expanded reviews, new sounds and/or images.

6 Several Rigg Color pages have been updated with expanded reviews, new sounds and/or images. Being very tight on server space, I converted all 55 sound files from 22 kb/s to 11 kb/s format, which did not adversely affect the quality of the sounds. This created a savings of nearly 2 megabytes, which means that, not only do I have room for more good stuff, but the sounds now load twice as fast!

5 No, you're not imagining things—the background is a little darker. I think the images look better against it, and the title graphics pop out more. Been too busy to do much more than some minor cosmetic and organizational touch-ups.

3 Horrors! I'm out of server space! And I still have so many things to add. In order to create room for Emma Peel second season sounds, I'm cutting back on first season sounds. One of the bigger space hogs was the Music section, which I'm sorry to say I've had to remove. (For an extensive online catalog of midi, wave and real audio files, please visit The Avengers Soundpage.)

2 Nearly finished the body counts for the Rigg Monochrome series. Added several new sounds and revised a few images. Don't forget, all of the Rigg color episodes are now available from A&E.

1 Inspired by the episode "The Girl from Auntie," I've begun to add a new feature to the review pages: Body count. This is indicated by a row of little gravestone icons at the end of the review. (Not counted are people only mentioned as having died, or nameless thugs who may or may not have actually died.) Gravestones also identify the deceased; hold your cursor over the stones to see the names.

I've also "reset the clock" for the review pages, removing the Update icons from all entries and adding new ones for a few pages that have just received new sounds and/or other revisions. Finally, if you're interested in some details on how I process images, see this FAQ page.
