« on: July 16, 2023, 08:36:08 PM »I wish ABC had done a crossover DS/Avengers episode, where John Steed and Mrs. Emma Perl called in noted parapsychologist Professor T. Elliott Stokes to assist them in their investigations involving ghosts in “The Living Dead” Avengers episode. It would have been great fun to have seen the eminent Professor Stokes looking for clues in that creepy British cemetery along with John Steed and Emma Peel.
Your mention of that ep got to wanting to see it again because I have't watched it in ages, so I did. I remembered the beginning to be quite DS-like and it is Though as much as I love the esteemed Prof. T. Eliot Stokes and as much as I would have also loved to have seen him traipsing through that cemetery (and what a great cemetery it is), I found myself picturing Dr. Peter Guthrie helping Steed and Mrs. Peel (before he was summoned to Collinwood, of course). It could have been perfect preparation for investigating the returned Mrs. Collins. Though while he would have debunked what happened involving the resurrected Duke of Benedict, he would ultimately come to discover he'd sadly bitten off much more than he could chew when it would come to Mrs. Collins...
