Series Two

Right from the beginning of series two, we can see that Avon has changed. Not just his clothes, but his whole demeanor.

 

Someone introduced him to leather! And we are glad of it! This yummy outfit takes him from computer geek to bad boy. Watch out, ladies!

Seen in Redemption and Killer.

Fashion Notes: (Paul Darrow) 'It was Gareth's fault I ended up in leather. I got a call from June (Hudson) asking if I objected to wearing leather, and I said no, not at all. On the way in a cab to the fitting, she said that she had mentioned to Gareth that she would like him in leather and thigh-length boots, and he said he didn't think it was right for Blake, but he knew just the person for whom it would be perfect'.

Here it is, the infamous silver top. I have heard it described as the 'baked potato' outfit by those who don't like it. There are a few who think it's just fine. But no matter what, you notice it, don't you?

Seen in Shadow, Horizon and Gambit.

Ok, we all saw Star Wars. We all understand that a man is supposed to look good in a white Gi. And you know what? He does! But is white really Avon's color? Don't think so.

Seen in Shadow.

Fashion Notes: (Paul Darrow) 'As it happened, leather is the most comfortable stuff to wear, and if you're filming in winter, it's very warm. If you're out in Betchworth Quarry in the middle of November, it's wonderful, and it stretches and it's comfortable, so I was quite happy'. This outfit makes you either die from lust or die from laughing. The red leather! Some say he looks like a lobster. Others say he looks like a dream. All I can say is the man can wear leather any time for me!

Seen in Weapon, Pressure Point and Countdown.

Take a look. A good, long look. Why? Because you will see this outfit again and again. I am not fond of it, which is a shame since he wears it not just in series two, but in series three as well.

For now, you can find it in Trial, Hostage, Voice From The Past, The Keeper and Star One.

I realize that the show was under budgeted and the poor costume designers were hard pressed, but this? What is this? He looks like he should be out spraying for bugs.

Thankfully, seen only in Killer.

It's Avon's turn in the thermal suit. Look at those gloves. Makes his fingers look like sausages. I wonder how he was able to use that bracelet at all.

Seen in Hostage and Countdown.

 

Now this I can go for. All Avon, All Black! Damn if he doesn't look sexy! Too bad he doesn't keep this look for the whole series!

Seen very briefly in Voice From The Past .
