The Avengers: Man-Eater of Surrey Green (1965)
Season 4, Episode 11
9/10
Out and out horror, fabulous.
5 July 2022
Steed and Mrs Peel enlist the help of a notable horticulturist to battle an alien, man eating plant that's landed in the local area.

You could be forgiven for thinking they you were watching an episode of Doctor Who, namely The Seeds of Death, there really are a few similarities.

I loved the horror vibe, it's so unlike any other episode I've seen, this one is just out and out horror. There was one bizarre moment....the spaceship.....excuse me .....

The highlight for me, Athene Seyler, I think she'd provided my favourite guest performance so far, magical as Doctor Sheldon, her delivery is to perfection, enormously charismatic, I cannot help but be reminded of Margaret Rutherford, the same eccentric charisma. I like the fact they she has a big part to play in the ending.

I bet they had a lot of fun making this, I certainly had a lot of fun watching it. 9/10.
