Writer, producer, and director; creator of "The Avengers" and "The Professionals" -- via the BBC. This prolific creator did much to shape my young imagination. In "The Avengers" and other projects, Clemens brought together adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and humor in a cheeky mix that was pure fun to watch. In a lowest-common-denominator medium, Clemens assumed the audience was intelligent and would probably like something challenging, and preposterous and silly, to watch. Besides the two hit TV series listed above, Clemens wrote for shows such as "Danger Man," "Remington Steele," "Father Dowling," and "Perry Mason." AND he wrote a trio of B-movie gems: "Doctor Jeykll and Sister Hyde," "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad," and "Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter," the last of which he directed as well. Oh, vale, dear pulp master!
