Can anyone direct me to footage of the launch of the Contender videos of The Avengers on You Tube?

Came across this by accident back in January and I’m now having problems locating it.

The only occasion that Patrick Macnee, Diana Rigg, Honor Blackman and Linda Thorson were in the same place.

Other attendees included Brian Clemens, Richard Bates, Roy Ward Baker, Sue Lloyd, Simon Oates, Patrick Cargill and Nicholas Grace.

Oh bummer. That sounds really good. I have a hunch that youtube may have taken it off. I hope not, but this has happened to me several times.

I'm looking for it after mentioning it to a friend on Sunday, as she and another couple of friends also appear in the footage.

Thinking on this a little more I also remember The Avengers first producer Leonard White being in attendance, as well as Nigel Davenport and Fenella Fielding.

This thread might help Mike:

I remember seeing it a while back, around the time some of the Chichester footage made it out, so it may have been on Vimeo rather than YouTube.

Thanks Geoff

You could be right about the actual location where I saw this.

Following your link reveals that unfortunately, the file has been removed, so unless someone here recorded it earlier in the year, or late last year, this one might be out of reach.

I just went poking around my files from the old back-ups of my long-dead computer, and I appear to have this one, much to my surprise! Shocked

(And my long-lost Parting Shots download, too. I can rewatch Gareth and Joanna's only ever onscreen reunion again, such as it is. Hurrah!). It's about three and a half minutes long. Sound about right?

Maybe if you PM them Mike they might re-upload it? Worth a try!

There were a few recognisable faces in the clip - and not just actors Wink

The clip length sounds about right Timeless.

I've been lucky enough to see him a few times Mike - the best being the launch of The Persuaders! on Blu-ray a couple of years ago. I take it he isn't doing any signing?
