英国ABC摄制的经典间谍剧集The Avengers在整个60年代红极一时,风靡英语世界,时至今日仍然吸引着世界各地无数的拥趸,成为和The Prisoner、Doctor Who等齐名的老牌英国Cult TV经典,而国内也曾在80年代以《复仇天使》的译名引进其中一小部分。The Avengers系列结束10年以后,剧集制作人Brian Clemens和Albert Fennell在70年代创作、拍摄了续集The New Avengers,同样获得相当大的成功,国内在80年代曾以《三个侦探》的不当译名引进。
The New Avengers沿用了The Avengers系列的男主角超级特工John Steed(Patrick Macnee),原系列中的美女搭档换成了两个年轻后辈Mike Gambit和Purdy。剧情配合冷战背景,涉及间谍与反间谍、有组织犯罪、科幻等多种题材,很多创意在当时颇有前卫性,因而在70年代重掀Avengers热潮。电视摄像与制作技术在10年间的发展,使得The New Avengers比前作显得更为专业。虽然和如今的好莱坞大片相比,The New Avengers在噱头和视觉效果方面要相差很多,但是在70年代其地位还是相当高的,而在今天作为怀旧经典仍然具有相当不错的观赏性和娱乐性。

英国BBC最新电视剧《尘归尘》是《火星生活》的衍生剧。
英国电视剧《Life on Mars》(火星生活) 曾获英国电视学院奖及国际艾美奖,ABC已在翻拍美版。这部剧集科幻(尤其是时间旅行)题材与警匪片于一身,说的是曼城的一个警探山姆-泰勒,在办案中被车撞倒在地,从昏迷中醒来后发现自己回到了1973年,成为警探吉恩-亨特的下属。很容易想像成《回到未来》那样的喜剧片,第一季刚开始的时候确实有吉恩和山姆鸡同鸭讲而闹出的笑话,但很快转而描述他们之间的冲突,山姆崇尚21世纪的办案方式;而吉恩作为一个70年代的警探经常是把认定有罪的嫌疑人先抓起来打一顿再说。此外,现在最爱热议的问题是山姆的来历,他到底是真的穿越回到过去?还是说,一切不过是他车祸昏迷中做的梦?亦或是他根本就是1973年的一名精神病人?
现在BBC出品的新剧《Ashes to Ashes》,讲的则是8年后(1981年)吉恩-亨特的故事。Gene Hunt警探再次归来,但他不再是那个自我风格的曼彻斯特治安官,坦白地说由于他可靠的伙伴...
