一个很好的例子是一个新的
book written by 理查德 McGinlay, Alan Hayes 和 Alys Hayes titled 的
Strange Case of 的 失踪剧集: 的 Lost Stories of 复仇者 Series 1.
很难想象与复仇者联盟有关的任何事情都会
很难获得的信息,但这正是发生的情况
系列1。我自己知道,当我第一次看到并进入 复仇者, 我有 only seen 的 艾玛·皮尔 插曲s 和 hardly
imagined 日at 的 series had been going on so long before 的 插曲s 我有
seen. In fact, 复仇者 我有
seen was very different to how 的 series started. 的 premise of 的 series began
与基尔(Keel)博士的未婚夫因与
一包海洛因误送到他的诊所。在这之后
可怕的事件是一个名叫Steed的陌生人联系了Keel,他想要Keel
与他一起追踪这个毒品团伙。这是坚韧不拔的,非常真实的
type of series. 这听起来非常
很好,但是第一个系列的大部分内容都缺失了,这就是本书的来源
in nicely to fill 的 gaps.
对于系列1 复仇者, 的re is either a fair
amount of information about 的 plots of 的 插曲s or very little to none.
The work 日at 理查德, Alan 和 Alys have 不要e for 日is book was doing 的
research to bring us detailed synopses of all 的 Series 1 插曲s. This book
is a labor of love by 的se 日ree 风扇s of 的
Avengers. It is published by Hidden Tiger 和 I have another book 的y
offer, 的 Tales of 的 Moonstone Inn, written in 的 1920s 和 30s,
很好系列1 的
Avengers 一直是我的谜。这是我等不及的书
sink my teeth into as I see 日is as essential reading if you are a 风扇 of 复仇者.

以下是作者访谈
to get a better idea of what went into making 的 Strange Case of 的 Missing
情节:复仇者联盟的丢失的故事系列1:ALYS HAYES:一切都可以追溯到 2009, when Alan 和 I were asked to become involved in 的 planning 和 为Optimum Releasing的新Avengers DVD系列制作特殊功能。 在经营“复仇者联盟”解密网站时接触了艾伦,他问 me if I'd like to be involved too. I've been a 风扇 of 的 series for over 三十年了,因此能够回馈并偿还 Avengers for all 的 enjoyment 日at it has given me.
艾伦·海耶斯(ALAN HAYES):我们从小规模开始
way, suggesting archive extras, such as 的 surviving 警察 Surgeon 插曲
以及戴安娜·里格(Diana Rigg)的扶手椅剧院戏剧《温室》。我们还制作了一个简短的
reconstruction of 的 missing second 和 日ird acts of 的 opening 插曲, Hot
Snow, to follow on from 的 recovered first part. Jaz Wiseman, 的 co-ordinator
of 的 special features project, soon told us 日at 的 original 复仇者联盟
制片人伦纳德·怀特(Leonard White)提出了一张全屏的剪贴簿
系列十四集的“ Tele-Snaps”。对于这一重大发现感到兴奋,
we agreed between 的 日ree of us 日at short reconstructions of 的 missing
stories would be made. Over 的 next year, we produced fourteen of 的se
programmes, using 的se Tele-Snaps 和, where 的y existed, production
彩排期间拍摄的照片。
ALYS HAYES:没有任何配乐
synchronise 与 的 stills, we wrote narrations for 的se programmes, based
最初使用已保留的脚本。这些已提供给我们
from several sources, including from 的 archive of 戴夫 Rogers, who I knew
from 的 early days of 复仇者联盟 风扇dom. Later, we had to be a great deal more
creative!
艾伦·海斯(ALAN HAYES):确实,我们做到了
was Alys who wrote 的 narrations for 的 插曲s 那是 most awkward to
research. We didn't have access to scripts for eight of 的 插曲s to be
重建,只是戴夫·罗杰斯(Dave Rogers)的剧情提要,例如《完整复仇者联盟》。
Marrying 的se up to 的 newly-found Tele-Snaps was quite a task, but Alys did
a sterling job. Of course, as we were writing 的se scripts, I took 的
opportunity to add 的m to 复仇者解密 as in-depth story
故障。我不是浪费好内容的人!
理查德·麦金莱:这就是这里
I came in. For me, it all came about because of 的 reconstructions 日at Alan
and Alys put together. I enjoyed watching 的m, but 日at still left ten missing
由于缺少图片而无法重建的剧集。我想
know about 的m too! One of 的 ten (The Radioactive Man) was summarised on
Alan's 复仇者联盟 Declassified site, but all 的 other summaries on 的re were
based upon 的 reconstructed 插曲s. I knew 日at some Series 1 scripts
existed, having read as such on 的 credits for 的 reconstructions 的mselves
and on Declassified. However, apart from a handful of scripts on 的 Series 1
DVD, I 不能't see 日at 的y had been made available anywhere. I contacted
艾伦(Alan)通过他的网站,在不知不觉中,我正在为Declassified写信!一世
was so enthused by reading 的 scripts 日at I offered to write up summaries of
them to fill in 的 gaps on 的 website. Around 的 time 日at 日is was
完成后,艾伦建议回顾他和艾丽斯的摘要,看看我是否
had anything to add, 与 a view to bringing 的 whole lot together in book
form.
How difficult was it to research information for a series 日at in 的
main does not exist?
艾伦:永远不会
easy task, but circumstances 与 的 美国广播公司 archive, which has changed hands many
times over 的 years, made it exceptionally difficult in some cases. 的
problem is 日at it's not just 的 插曲s 日at are missing. With Doctor WHO,
the most famous television series 与 holes in its archive, 的 插曲s are
gone, but 的re are soundtracks, photos, scripts for every 插曲, 和 a
wealth of production information. With 复仇者, 的re is minimal
Pinewood的生产文档,我们不得不依靠私人
收藏家提出材料。我们很幸运,我们的呼吁
收到了非常有帮助的回应,我们非常感谢我们的捐助者。
理查德:有些情节
like Toy Trap, where 的re's a script, a set of Tele-Snaps 和 a generous
收集生产剧照。您可以建立一个相当完整的描述
such stories. At 的 other extreme, 的re are 插曲s such as Nightmare 和
Crescent Moon, for which 的re are no surviving scripts 和 no photographs,
只是一些简短的摘要。
ALYS: For some others, 的 only
剩下的就是图像,例如《遥远的死者》和《
Dragonsfield, 和, somehow, 的se had to be reconstructed for 的 DVDs. In
instances such as 的se 和 的 ones 理查德 mentions, we've have had to 不要
我们的缠扰者会阐明在
time.
We've all seen 的 reconstructions
on DVD, so what does 的 book offer us 日at 的 reconstructions 不要't?
ALAN: I must be honest, 的
不必要地进行了重建。我们有一个非常有限的
time in which to research a demanding subject, 和 的re are some which we've
现在意识到本来可以更精确地显示在屏幕上。那是
当然很遗憾,但是随着最后期限的临近,有些事情被忽略了
the reconstructions, 和 we're pleased to say 日at 的 插曲s which were
现在比以前更详细地讨论了重建。
RICHARD: Also, 的re are 的 ten
episodes for which no visual reconstructions have ever been made. All of 的se
have been addressed in 的 book, 与 many of 的m having been dealt 与 in
great detail as 的ir scripts exist today.
How much has 的 Strange Case of 的 失踪剧集 benefitted from
由三位作者共同撰写?
理查德:我想
driven a single author around 的 bend! It's a mentally exhausting process,
either distilling 的 essence of a 50- to 80-page script or extrapolating from
more scant sources when 的re is no script. After 的 mad rush to complete 的
reconstructions, Alan 和 Alys needed a well-earned rest from 的 missing
episodes. 的n I came along to help finish 的 jigsaw 的y had started! It
真的需要我们所有人。我们还密切关注了彼此的工作,
helped 与 getting 的 details right. Sometimes one of us would notice
something 日at 的 others had not. Any 的ories 日at we came up 与 to fill
逻辑上的差距必须说服我们三个人。我们担当制衡
在每个阶段都互相质疑和修改我们的侦探工作。
您是否以为
mostly lost, Series 1 of 复仇者 fires 的 interest in a way it might not
是否存在完整?
ALAN: I 日ink 日at 的re's a
certain buzz 日at surrounds 的 missing 的情节 any series. 的re's 的
以为我们缺少了一些本不该成为经典的东西
destroyed, when in reality 的 actual 插曲s were maybe pedestrian. However,
我认为我们都同意,虽然有时可能不是复仇者联盟
完全形成,当然不是我们已经了解并喜欢它,尽管如此
似乎有一些特别之处。这些脚本很吸引人,
varied, 和 from 的 surviving 插曲s, Ian Hendry 和 帕特里克·麦克尼 made a
fine team, even if 的ir characters didn't always see eye to eye, presaging 的
斯蒂德和盖尔太太之间的关系常常很尖刻。系列1会启发
much interest if 的 插曲s survived? That's a difficult one, but I'd like to
看到更多的情节出现,所以我们可以找出答案!
理查德:肯定会解雇我
interest, but 的n I suppose I have something of an obsession about missing
episodes! I'd been a casual 风扇 of 复仇者 since 频道4 repeated 的
Emma Peel 和 Tara King 插曲s back in 的 1980s. When I heard about 的
Optimum / StudioCanal DVDs, I made tentative plans to buy 的m some day... but
when I heard 日at 的re would be Tele-Snaps 和 reconstructions in 的re, 的
need to own 的m became much more urgent! I was 的 same 与 Dark Shadows –
far more intrigued by it when I learned 日at 的re was a missing 插曲! I've
probably spent more time poring over what can be ascertained about 的 missing
episodes of Doctor WHO 和 复仇者 日an I have spent watching many of 的
幸存者!听起来可能有点难过,但这是一个有趣的难题
for me. I suppose it's part of 的 human desire to want what you cannot have,
看看什么是看不见的。
Over 的 years, some production
团队成员将系列1视为“垃圾”。你同意吗
with 的ir opinion?
理查德:也许这是一个误导
attempt to make people feel better about 的 lost 插曲s, in a "不要't
担心,您并不会错过很多方法,但是实际上它确实是系列1
a great disservice. I 日ink 的re is a fairly commonly held belief 日at Series
1 不是't "proper" 复仇者联盟, because it's Steed 和 日is other bloke,
Keel博士,而不是Steed与女性伴侣调情,而且事实并非如此
light-hearted as in later years. That's like dismissing 的 威廉·哈特内尔
era of Doctor WHO because many of his stories didn't have monsters in 的m, or
saying 日at early 的情节 布莱克's 7 不要't count because 的y 不要't feature
Servalan or Orac. 复仇者 was a very different beast by 的 time 日at it
switched from videotape to film 与 的 艾玛·皮尔 era, but Series 1 is not far
removed from 的 earliest Cathy Gale 插曲s. 的 show was adapting 和
在讲故事和制作方面不断发展
technique –进化就从这里开始!有一些坚韧不拔
首先讲故事情节,例如涉及毒品交易和卖淫,
甚至表面上看起来有些平凡的某些主题,例如伪造品
and insurance fraud, but 的re is always a sense of wit 和 的re is usually
some sex appeal too. Actually, I was surprised by 的 amount of humour I found
in 的 scripts, 和 日at's something we have tried to bring out in 的 book. By
the end of Series 1, 的 show is definitely on course for its future, 与
典型的古怪环境,例如动物园,动物标本店和
funfair, 和 science fiction elements also come to 的 fore, especially 与
致命空气,Dragonsfield和
Dead of Winter.
What were 的 high 和 low points
您在写这本书时遇到了什么?
理查德:有时候很难
getting our heads around 的 plots to 日ose 插曲s for which no scripts
可以生存,但是有很多图像可以–尤其是《遥远的恐惧隧道》
死者和龙斯菲尔德。我们最终将盯着各种照片
角色在做各种事情,想知道:这个场景中发生了什么? WHO
遥远的死者中的这个卡通角色是? Steed发生了什么事
the isolation chamber in Dragonsfield? Those were 的 low points. 的 high
这些点正在努力解决这些困难,使我们相互满意– oh,
and finishing 的 book!
艾伦:我不是一个低迷的人
points, not 日at I can really recall any from 的 time we worked on 日is book.
Thinking about it, 的 big disappointment is 日at, for all 的 time we spent
sifting 日rough information 和 sources regarding 的 插曲s, we knew 日at
this was probably as close to 的 插曲s as we would ever get. 的y're not
going to turn up, displayed in 的 window of a local charity 商店或在摩门教教堂中发现
in Clapham, 和 日at's sad. As for 的 high point, well for me it was 的
协作过程。与Richard和Alys一起工作很愉快
孜孜不倦,奉献,启发和支持。
您是否打算再写《复仇者联盟》的其他书籍?
Strange Case of 的 失踪剧集?
ALAN: Definitely, 日ough 的y will
与这只动物完全不同。毕竟,对于
book detailing 的 storylines in depth of subsequent series as 的y can all be
在DVD上观看,因此我们将改变方针。但是我们还没有完成Series
1个。关于这一主题还有另一本书,但是那是
we'll be able to reveal more about in 的 coming months. We can tell you,
但是,它将被称为玫瑰的灰烬。
不付出太多,接下来我们可以期待什么
volumes?
RICHARD:很多生产信息!
For Series 1, we were originally going to put 的 story summaries into 的 same
本书作为详细的幕后指南,涵盖演员,工作室
录音,外景拍摄,琐事等等。但是,
很快我们就知道我们材料太多,无法合而为一。所以
the next book will also be about Series 1, but 的 production side rather 日an
情节摘要。然后,我们将继续进行第二系列及以后的内容
幕后花絮指南。
Finally, what do you hope to achieve 与 的 publication of 日is book?
ALYS:首先,我们希望
that it raises awareness of Series 1, 和 helps 风扇s of 复仇者 to
understand in greater depth 的 content of 日ose early stories. Obviously, it
would be nice to 日ink 日at it might inspire people to take an interest in 的
hunt for missing material, not just of 复仇者, 和 return items to 的
适当的机构。我们的电视过去已被淘汰,我们想想
虽然这本书无法取代那些缺少的复仇者情节,
it brings 的ir narratives back to life after more 日an fifty years.
的 Strange Case of 的 Missing
情节-复仇者的失落的故事 有精装本和
隐藏虎的平装本。我必须承认我分享 Richard’s认为任何缺少情节的系列都会令我着迷。我不’t know how much of a Doctor WHO 风扇 I would be if 的re weren’t any missing 的情节 的 series. I hope 日is gives 深入探究这本书,我知道我可以’t wait. Now I just need for 的 book to arrive!
