Picture: Ian Hendry in make-up with Joan Watson (1961)

Note: If you look closely, you will see one of the show’s opening title credits/ slides mounted on a stand in the foreground of the photograph!

Wonderful behind the scenes picture of Ian Hendry ‘in make-up’ with Joan Watson – prior to filming an episode of The Avengers.

It’s always great to see some of the process that happens off camera – with the unsung heroes of television and film, those who never appear on screen but are integral to the success of a production.

I’ll share more on the story behind the picture in due course!

Until next time
