TODAY'S BOO TUBE: THE LIVING DEAD

"DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, MR. STEED?"  This is the question asked by Mrs. Emma Peel at the beginning of THE AVENGERS episode entitled "THE LIVING DEAD" and during the course of the show we'll get the answer. 

A quite Halloweenie episode of the classic 60's spy series which finds Steed and Mrs. Peel investigating the ghostly apparition of the late Duke who is seen rising from his grave to go ring the bell in the nearby creepy chapel.  The pair are met by the usual shifty-looking villagers as well as a competing duo of ghost hunters.  Spooky tombs and weed-enveloped gravestones vie with copious amounts of cobwebs to make this one a must for any October viewing.  Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg are in top form as is the always enjoyable Julian Glover.
