Wiki.
Minikillers is a four-episode series of short films starring Diana Rigg.
Rigg plays an unnamed character extremely similar to her character Emma Peel in The Avengers, although neither the production company nor any of the other cast or crew is related to that TV series.
They were produced in 1969 in Germany by an obscure company called Accentfilms International. They were directed by Wolfgang von Chmielewski, from the German TV Station WDR and written by Wolfgang von Chmielewski and Michael von Chmielewski.
They were released on Super 8 mm colour film. They were shot on location in the Costa Brava in Spain. There is no dialogue. Diana Rigg, the star of the films, never mentioned them again in any interview. The titles of the four parts are Operation Costa Brava, Heroin, Macabre and Flamenco.Their origin is obscure. One claim is that they were made to entertain people waiting at petrol stations in Germany.
