Fortunately Steed and Keel are hot on the heels of insurance fraudsters and might just be able to save him...3. Hunt the Man Down (by Richard Harris, adapted by Justin Richards). When Frank Preston is released from prison the race is on to find this hidden loot. Can Steed and Keel survive warring gangsters to return the stolen property and rescue a kidnapped Carol? 4. Dead of Winter (by Eric Paice, adapted by John Dorney). When the frozen body of a Neo-Nazi is discovered at the docks, Steed and Keel get involved with a fascist organisation developing an apocalyptic plan.Episodes from the wiped first series of The Avengers recreated faithfully on audio, this full-cast audio drama is brought to life with eerily engrossing sound design and a brand new, cinematic music score.Starring Anthony Howell (Foyle's War, Dirk Gently, Dracula) and Julian Wadham (The Iron Lady, War Horse, Downton Abbey).
