Big Finish continues its range of The Avengers adaptations with Too Many Targets, a script by John Dorney based on a 1990 novel by John Peel and Dave Rogers. The selling point of the novel, and thus the audio drama,…

I started listening to Big Finish’s The Avengers: The Lost Episodes on basically a whim, and I’m glad I did: the range has provided me with 26 little slices of delightful 1960s melodrama, based on a television programme I haven’t…
