Last week was the busiest week of the year for me for my job so I wasn't able to really watch any PARDON THE EXPRESSION. Tonight I pick up where I left off with "The Dance" and "The Wedding". #PardontheExpression #ArthurLowe #Granada #ITV #TVTimes

Welp, I took out a second mortgage and bought the 4K release of THE NEW AVENGERS. I have waited so long for a high quality release of this series. And maybe, just MAYBE this will lead to more restoration to THE AVENGERS episodes.
