Could this show be Revived.
I guess the chances of it is a BIG FAT ZERO ever since the failure of Brian Clemens The New Avengers.
Plus, all the actors are too old and most of the writers are dead. In essence, its now a memory.
However, Doctor who had lesser challenges and was revived beautifully (Not really in my opinion, only Matt Smith has really given us the feeling of Classic Doctor who, despite the soap opera element of it being a mainstay)
However, could it be revived by ITV or BBC? Could they bring back Steed and his partners? Could they revive it by giving it some new life in the 21st century?
The problem is, should we do a Reboot or should we do a continuation.
If i were to write the treatment it would go like this
John Steed, while not a code name, becomes one. We see a younger steed who had similarities but HARSH differences. Almost like the bond code name fan theory. This boy could be related to steed in some way. Who says he needs to 20-30? Why not make him 40? THis new steed could be a son, or a protege. However, that would mean we would have to give a reason why Steed would give up his name. Perhaps a Macnee Cameo would do the trick.
The Origin would be how the amateur partner (Dr. David Keel, Purdey update) meets Steed and eventually is brought into the world of British Espionage. The inciting incident is that the enemies now have his adress and he will have to live in fear. However, the agency can give him indirect training and support
the problems in the story could range from the enemy killing something meaningful like friend, lover (like in Hot Snow) or wiping out his life.
The series will end when said enemy has resources destroyed and good men/sub-prime (recurring but loved characters) as well as one Main character die, or are written out. The conclusion is that Amateur partner has AVENGED his setbacks, and can now breathe free.
Series 2 can then start off with a new threat and new partner.
Thats just me, please critique and contribute whether the Avengers can be revived
