The Avengers: Escape in Time (1967)
Season 5, Episode 3
9/10
Sheer absurdity!
14 September 2006
One of the highlights of the color episodes with Diana Rigg. The story is not scary or somehow dramatic or new but the way it is exercised is very unusual and extremely surreal. The Avengers have left reality long before but here comes a new element into the storytelling. Every scenery already looks highly artificial, much more then in the monochrome episodes. Sheer absurdity is the only thing I can think of, when the people who want to disappear are send on a difficult way through small streets. They are handed along without a single word of dialog, and they have to wear a large crocodile... What more do you want?
