Adam Adamant Lives! (1966)
Frozen in time Edwardian gent is revived in 1966 where he fights crime and combats dastardly deeds! - oh those 'wacky' sixties television ideas!
The BBC looking for their take on The Avengers consulted many of the people originally behind 'Doctor Who' and this is what they came up with. An entertaining show, well acted by the then dashing Gerald Harper and sixties 'chick' Juliet Harmer. Special mention must be made of the Edwardian ability to drive a Mini Cooper!!! Despite this series being such a silly premise, I still enjoy watching it a lot.
Margaret plays a femme fatale used to as a honey trap to extort money from wealthy 'respectable' businessmen who should really know better. Whilst a small role for Margaret, clearly her plausibility as a seductive lure holds up here and despite some 'clunky' acting from some of the other cast members, she comes out the other side quite intact from this quirky slice of sixties nonsense!
