The DVD release for the recovered Avengers episode Tunnel of Fear includes reconstructions for a number of missing season 1 episodes.
These reconstructions include one for Tunnel of Fear.
This reconstruction states in its intro that Tunnel of Fear does not exist.
The reason why this statement contradicts the episode's recovery is that it was made in 2010 for an earlier release years before the said recovery.

Minikillers Part 2: Heroin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4aNkr-SE5oEnjoyed this one a lot as Diana spends some time on a beach when she encounters trouble as she unfortunately got into an net. Exciting what comes out of this with exploits on a boat and the involvement of some mannequins with the villains involved. It was especially a delight seeing Diana in a wet bikini! |

Minikillers Part 4: Flamenco: www.youtube.com/watch?v=okUYO9GlzJIA Flamenco dancer sets the stage for this the final part of Minikillers as Diana sees one performs. Diana is soon propel into action when she receives a message. Fascinating by what ensues including the dolls that were in the previous parts. At one point Diana was tied up and pretty good how she got out of that. Quite unexpected on how Diana dealt with the main villain and her not knowing that she did it. |

The Mad Hatter:
The Mad Hatter is the penultimate episode in The Comic Strip Adaptations Volume 2.
Adapted by Matt Fitton.
Steed and Emma are assigned here to protect the visiting Princess Helga of Varania who has come to England and is the target of an assassination plot.
With Terry Molloy and Inspector Corduroy and it is fine with what he has been given here.
Princess Helga. whilst being a target of an assassination, is certainly a fun character here including getting English words wrong such as her thinking the word chameleon, which was said by Inspector Corduroy, as being comedian.
Enthralling Steed and Emma tracking the assassin down including Emma narrowly escaping an explosion detonated by the assassin himself.

Saw Patrick Macnee in The Hardy Boys episode Assault on the Tower from 1978 which sees him help out the Hardy Boys find their father.
Macnee's character here is known as S with the S to strongly to imply to stand for Steed due to the manner of his appearance including him wearing a bowler hat.
The implication that S is Steed is further emphasised by how S part ways with the Hardys at the end and this was by him suddenly seeing an old female friend whom he went up to greet.
This female friend is strongly implied to be Emma Peel although I am pretty sure that wasn't Diana Rigg in that scene.

Was informed that on the DVD release of all the Emma Peel episodes of The Avengers in one set that it includes The Hothouse, an episode of the anthology series Armchair Theatre which starred Diana Rigg, the performance that led to her casting as Emma Peel. As I was unwilling to spent a lot of money to buy a boxset (not that I was unwilling to have any reason to see the Emma Peel episodes again) just to get to see The Hothouse I instead found and saw it on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zoBn-N5bx4 |
