Welcome Change.
Many thanks for The Avengers.  Each film is first-class entertainment and a welcome change from conventional crime stories.   Thanks also to Ian Hendry who as Dr Keel makes the part come to life.  (MRS) L. KIRK.  Moorgreen, Newthorpe, Notts.
Ian Hendry, born in Ipswich in 1931, went to school at Culford, Suffolk.  His main interest was sport.  During National Service he paced Chris Chataway in athletics and ran his own motor cycle stunt team.  After National Service Ian tried auctioneering and estate management but soon went into repertory in Hornchurch and Worthing.  He has appeared in a number of films, and stage productions.  On ITV he has been seen in "Emergency - Ward 10," "Probation Officer," "Inside Story," "Beyond the Horizon," and "Flight from Treason."  He and his wife, Jo, who teaches film and television make-up, live on a converted naval pinnace on the Thames.
