Similar to the virtual museum idea that was talked about on the old forum... The "Mrs. Peel... We're needed" site seems to have images gathered of different props as well as little tidbits about each one. Loads of (small) pics and info.

I definitely tip my bowler to Piers Johnson who created the site!! Well done old chap!  _________________ "Welcome my lord. Allow me." |

'Tis a lovely site. It's amused me for hours when I should have been doing something else.  _________________ Last Watched: Who Was That Man I Saw You With?

Speaking of the museum, where's Rodney? Did we lose him in the transition? |

*blush* thanks everyone, it's nice to know one's efforts aren't in vain.
I have recaptured lots of images for all the seasons and, once I've finished giving all the episodes a decent description rather than just a precis, I'll update the props department. It's been languishing sadly for years. _________________ Mrs Peel, you're needed!

OMG I loveee that website.
I surf through the costume galleries aimlessly without a care in the world.
It must of taken you ages, and it really is appreciated. _________________

15 years and counting...
I've just finished reworking the Tara episodes, which leaves me the following to do list:
- season four episode descriptions
- more images of the cars - esp. Tara & New Aven gers
- Expand the fashions to cover Tara, Steed & New Avengers
- ditto for earlier seaons

I'll be very interested in the seeing the updates.
I always have your site bookmarked, and I apologise for using some of your images over her - I do send a link when I remember...

Just when you think it almost can't, it gets better. I especially like the trivia pages. |

Thanks, Allard.
I woke up this morning with two new ideas - I've saved my original tongue-in-cheek precis of the episodes and the Emma Peel colour ones are on the trivia pages for them.
My new ideas:
- do the same for the Tara precis
- make them appear as a "pop-over" description when you roll over the episodes in the index.
I'll add it to my list - should be quite simple, so it'll bump some of the earlier items, I'm afraid. _________________ Mrs Peel, you're needed!

Thanks, I don't mind if people use my images for their own use, just not commercially. (I briefly turned on blocking for hotlinks a few years ago, but a day later turned it off again).
Hmmm, it's time I got over those Dutch DVDs but... the Aussies sent me a couple of free sets when they used my material (and asked first); the Dutch pretended they'd come up with the graphics themselves, [sarcasm starts here] magically using the same antique tv set fom an online museum and the same static interference pattern [sarcasm ends] and had no interest in providing me with a copy of the set. They told me I didn't own the original tv set image so I had no right to question their use of my copy, which is like saying Warhol didn't own Campbell's soup...

I'd love it if you expanded the fashion section to include the other eras. I've passed many an hour browsing through the images. I have lots of papers next term--give me reasons to procrastinate!  _________________ Last Watched: Who Was That Man I Saw You With?

Okay, I'll see what I can do, I should have all the grabs on CD somewhere. I more or less stopped work on the fashions when it came to inserting Steed's suits for Season Five. Much as I love them, they just weren't as interesting - probably because they didn't have Diana Rigg in them. _________________ Mrs Peel, you're needed!

I'd kill for one of Steed's suits, but they are much the same from episode to episode.
OTOH I could imagine people tuning in, wondering what Cathy/Emma/Tara/Purdey was going to wear this week. |
