Only three complete episodes from the show's first series, plus a portion of another episode, are known to exist, as 16mm film [[telerecording]]s. These are "The Frighteners" (an extract of which is playing on a television in the film ''[[Quadrophenia (film)|Quadrophenia]]''), "Girl on the Trapeze", which was found in the [[UCLA Film and Television Archive]] via an internet search of their on-line database, and "Tunnel of Fear", which was found in 2016.<ref name="TOF">{{cite web|url=http://ianhendry.com/the-avengers-1961-lost-episode-tunnel-of-fear-from-the-very-first-series-rediscovered-after-55-years/|title=The Avengers (1961) – Lost Episode 'Tunnel Of Fear' From The Very First Series Rediscovered After 55 Years!|date=3 October 2016|publisher=Ian Hendry's official website}}</ref> Additionally, part of the show's first episode was also found in the United States. The footage is of the episode's first 21 minutes, up to the first commercial break.

All series 2 and series 3 episodes survive as [[16mm]] telerecordings. These have been released to [[DVD]], as have all of the Emma Peel and Tara King episodes, which were shot on film. The two earlier-found surviving complete Keel episodes, plus the remnant of the first episode, have also been released in the UK and US, but are not currently available in the US. None of the original videotapes of series 1, 2 and 3 survive.

From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, [[A&E Home Video|A&E TV Home Entertainment]] (under license from [[Studiocanal|Canal+ Image International]]) released the remaining surviving series on Region 1 DVD in North America, with newly remastered picture and sound quality.

Series 4, 5 and 6 were remastered and released on [[Blu-ray]] by Studio Canal.
