Ep by ep; The Rotters


Wonderful double meaning for the title and another of the dotty old aunts you always seem to get in the Avengers, the corpse coming to life again is actually quite a shocking moment. Other quite humdrum.

I enjoyed this one. It was a light episode, but had enough Avenger touches to keep it interesting. The concept of the two villains working for a company called Wormdoom and dressed in matching tweed is very Avengers. The dry rot guns add a humorous touch and make for some great scenes of things disappearing. Reminds me of something from the Mrs. Peel seasons. Tara looks great in the green minidress and also looks great in the black overcoat when she's in the woods. I feel The Rotters is pretty standard Avengers, with the scientific element used as a weapon, the sinister staff at Timber Industries and Steed and Tara trying to get to the bottom of it, but I find it enjoyable none the less.
