The suave agent with a cheeky charm, and a mysterious past, Mike Gambit was the main male action hero of “The New Avengers” who endeared himself to audiences as the dashing tough man with a bold wit and a flirtatious manner.
Whilst John Steed still participated in missions, he became more of a mentor which left Gambit & Purdey to take on action duties in “The New Avengers“.
Some of Gareth’s early credits include the “For the Love of Ada” spin-off film with Irene Handl & Wilfred Pickles, “Space: 1999” with Martin Landau & Barbara Bain, “Bless This House” with Sid James, and as footman Trooper Frederick Norton in “Upstairs, Downstairs” with Jean Marsh & Gordon Jackson, where he was spotted by The New Avengers’ producers which landed him the role of Mike Gambit in “The New Avengers“.
After 26 episodes of avenging, Hunt went on to appear in the film adaptation of Jackie Collins’ “The World is Full of Married Men” with Anthony Steel, “Minder” with George Cole & Alfie Bass, “Mystery Theatre” with Peter Wyngarde & Patricia Hayes, “It Couldn’t Happen Here” with Barbara Windsor, “A Hazard of Hearts” with Diana Rigg, “A Chorus of Disapproval with” Sylvia Syms, “A Ghost in Monte Carlo” with Joanna Lumley & Elizabeth Sellars, “The Castle of Adventure” with Susan George & Brian Blessed, “I Can Do That” with Victor Spinetti, “Riders”, “Side by Side”, “Fierce Creatures” with John Cleese & Ronnie Corbett, “Parting Shots” with Diana Rigg & Joanna Lumley, “The Incredible Adventures of Marco Polo” with John Hallam, “Eastenders“, “Night & Day”, “New Tricks” with Dennis Waterman, and his final role in “The Riddle” with Vanessa Redgrave.
Gareth Hunt is also well known to many for his trademark fist-shake to reveal coffee beans in the long-running instant coffee campaign where he was joined by Diane Keen & Una Stubbs.

Stylish pop art prints of the cult Seventies spy show with Steed, Purdey & Gambit.

Making its world premiere on Irish station RTÉ on the 28th of September 1976, The New Avengers’ British debut was on the HTV channel at 7.50pm on the 17th of October 1976, then broadcast on the Thames channel on the 19th ahead of other ITV networks on the 22nd. The show revived Patrick Macnee‘s character John Steed from The Avengers and introduced Joanna Lumley as Purdey (named after a British gunmaker) & Gareth Hunt as Gambit.
Each print is a heartfelt homage to the show’s unique blend of action, wit, and retro flair, reimagined in Art & Hue’s signature pop art style. The New Avengers collection is available in three sizes & many colour options, because one size doesn’t fit all when you’re thwarting diabolical masterminds.
