Adam Adamant Lives! was a television series that ran from 1966 to 1967 on the BBC. The show was the BBC's attempt to repeat the success of ITV's The Avengers, with a comedy adventure theme that would take a satirical look at life in the 1960s through the eyes of an Edwardian. The plots of the Austin Powers movies are similar to the plots in Adam Adamant Lives!
[edit] The Adamant character
The main character, Adam Llewellyn De Vere Adamant, was an Edwardian Gentleman Adventurer, frozen in a block of ice in 1902 by his arch-nemesis 'The Face' and revived in 1966. On emerging from a hospital and collapsing on the London streets, Adam was rescued by a typical swinging sixties chick called Georgina Jones and he soon became embroiled in the criminal world of the 1960s when Georgina was threatened after becoming witness to a murder. Subsequently, Adam rebuilt his old home on the top of a multi-storey car park in central London and purchased a Mini Cooper S. During an adventure in Blackpool he acquired a manservant in the form of former music hall artiste William E. Simms. In terms of fashion, the series captured well the gradual shift in 1966-7 from the "mod" styles of "Swinging London" to the more Bohemian, eventually hippie, styles, that characterised the late sixties.
[edit] The series
Adam Adamant Lives! starred Gerald Harper as Adam Adamant, Juliet Harmer as Miss Georgina Jones, Jack May as William E. Simms, and Peter Ducrow as The Face. The show was created by Sydney Newman and produced by Verity Lambert (also the creator and first producer respectively of Doctor Who).
There were originally 29 black and white episodes comprising two series, plus one unbroadcast pilot (elements of which were used in the opening episode). Many of these were held on video tape but wiped by the BBC in the 1970s (in one case, a 35mm film recording is known to have been destroyed). The result is that only sixteen episodes remained in the archives when the BBC realised the value of such material, including the first and last episodes in broadcast order. These were mainly in the form of the original broadcast 35mm film recordings, with a handful of episodes as 16mm film recordings or reduction prints. The episode D For Destruction, thought among those lost forever, was however recovered in 2003 – it was found at the BBC in a mislabelled film can. It has since been screened every year at the Missing Believed Wiped event. All 17 surviving episodes were released in a Region 2 DVD box set in the UK by 2entertain Ltd on 24 July 2006, complete with various bonus features, including a documentary in which Harper and Harmer were reunited after almost forty years.
