The Avengers was produced as a radio serial by a company called Sonovision Ltd. for the South African Broadcasting Company in 1972.  The series was sponsored by Lever Brothers, credited at the show's opening as "the makers of Cold Water Omo."  The series was produced by David Gooden -- Sonovision's owner at the time -- and featured English actor Donald Monat as John Steed. The part of Emma Peel was played by Diane Appleby.  Hugh Rouse, already famous in South Africa as a radio newscaster, contributed highly entertaining narration to each episode.  The stories were adapted from Emma Peel and Tara King episodes.  The series itself ran for in excess of eighteen months, and it is believed that as many as eighty serials may have been produced.  Sadly, only thirteen of these are known to exist today.  Serial lengths would vary--initially, each story was delivered in five fifteen-minute installments, but later in the run, episode counts per serial would be between five and eight.

NOTE: Due to a server crash recently at SaveFile.com, these files are currently unavailable.
I have been very busy with my new Disc Jockey company and with production of new episodes of
The Glowing Dial of late and have not had time to upload these files once again.
SaveFile.com does not have batch uploading so all the files have to be uploaded one-at-a-time.
This is very time consuming so please be patient and I will try to get the files back up as I have spare 
time to do so.  I apologize for any inconvenience.

All episodes of The Avengers can be downloaded here.

NOTE: The new file storage system we are using deletes files (episodes) automatically if they sit on the server for 30 days without a download.  This is beyond our control and we have no realistic way of keeping up with checking on this.  So, we ask you, our loyal listeners to inform us if you find a file (episode) missing.  Upon receiving such a notice, we will upload the episode to the server in as timely a fashion as we are able.

ALSO: Please do your best to not be a "bandwidth hog".  We ask that you limit your downloads to a "reasonable" amount per day.  Please do not use "download managers" either.  Although we have unlimited storage space and unlimited bandwidth at our current storage location, we do not wish to "abuse" this privilege and "crash" or "severely limit" their server.  Remember, there are many others who want to download these files as badly as you do so please give them a fair chance too.
