 Great fun - change is good! June 7, 2007
I note the comments of the earlier reviewer and agree that there are errors in the text - however, this DOES NOT detract from a fun and very entertaining read. Unless you are bothered that a particular episode actually aired on 26th June and not the 24th- is this likely to bother the casual reader? It is refreshing that it is not just another detailed line by line guide of each episode but a personal interpretation of each episode. This was book was written and should be read, with tongue firmly-in-cheek ie. exactly as the programmes were intended all those years ago - Enjoy!
 Irreverent and amusing but annoyingly inaccurate April 1, 2000

I did enjoy reading this book because the authors give a personal overview of the series and comment humorously on all aspects from its kinkiness to its history. It's great fun for fans to read and doesn't give away the plot of each episode in the summaries. The reason I haven't given it five stars is because there are literally hundreds of errors, some of which are forgivable and others which simply result from a lack of proof reading and inaccurate quoting. After a while this becomes irritating because the authors simply haven't taken sufficient care to check things before publishing, especially as giving it to any other fan to read would have got rid of half of them. Despite this flaw, however, I highly recommend the book for any Avengers fan and wouldn't dream of watching an ep without it.
