Just read this about a blu-ray release of the new avengers (an absolutely horrible series, despite being made by veterans of the original Avengers):
"...the company [Studio Canal, which distributes a lot of classic TV shows and movies] warns the contemporary audience about the nature of the contents with this sentence:
"'please note that this film reflects historical attitudes which audiences may find outdated or offensive.'"
For a series made in 1976? Maybe there were too many White people in it.

None of the charm of the original, though MacNee tried. It was a paycheck, that's all.

I found Joanna Lumley fairly offensive with her dyk_ish look, and god-awful hair and makeup, and Laurie Johnson, of all people, doing 70s style SHAFT-type wacka-wacka guitar riffs, and probably some other things in the show typical of that era... but I wouldn't slap a trigger warning on it! I'm sure their reasons were quite different from mine.
