The Avengers in ITALY

Video Products

The Avengers is on DVD in Italy! Visit Yamoto Video or Sergio Maggi's site for more details. (By the way, does Yamoto Video realize the silhouette they used on their second DVD set is actually from the movie?)

Italian Factoids

• Italy was the first country outside of England to broadcast Cathy Gale episodes in 1965
• In Season 4, Mrs. Peel was "Miss Peel" for the Italian audience
• The first season of The New Avengers was called The Infallible Three
• The second season of TNA was called Always Three, Always Infallible
• In Italy Agente Speciale is available on video dubbed in Italian

Marco Casadei has made an extraordinary contribution in the form of the original broadcast history of the series in Italy, presented here in the following tables. Included after the episode titles are the Italian premiere dates—note the unusual order!—and networks hosting the premieres.
