Anticlockwise: the Psychedelic World of Tara King Rodney Marshall

Publisher Marketing: After the critical success of Bright Horizons and Mrs. Peel, We're Needed, The Avengers on Film book series is back with the third volume... The Avengers was a unique, genre-defying television series which blurred the traditional boundaries between 'light entertainment' and disturbing drama. It was a product of the constantly-evolving 1960s yet retains a timeless charm. The arrival of Tara King and Mother saw The Avengers shaken and stirred, as writers and directors playfully engaged with a variety of film and television genres. Steed and Tara face increasingly odd adventures and dangers: killer clowns, a giant nose, love drugs, deadly board games, duplicate Steeds, Victorian fog, an underground 'paradise', and vengeful Home Counties cowboys. Anticlockwise draws on the knowledge of a broad range of experts and fans of The Avengers as it explores the surreal, unpredictable, psychedelic world of Tara King. "The Avengers challenged audiences to enjoy art beyond the ordinary." (Matthew Lee) "The Avengers is a wonderful example of avoiding the tyranny of common sense." (Robert Fuest) Includes contributions from: Australian Avengers webmaster Piers Johnson; French Avengers webmaster Bernard Ginez; academics Sunday Swift and Lauren Humphries-Brooks; psychologist Margaret J Gordon; television historian Matthew Lee; actor Richard Cogzell.
