The Avengers

Certainly a massive influence on me when it was repeated throughout the late 70s, The Avengers certainly embraced it's fetish influences in many great scenes.

But a question just for fun - in your view which of Steed's lovely lady sidekicks had the best scenes? Cast your vote in the poll to the right.





Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman)
1962-64






Emma Peel (Diana Rigg)
1965-67






Tara King (Linda Thorson)
1968-69



I haven't included Purdey as played by Joanna Lumley from The New Avengers as the show had little impact on me and suffered badly from poor scripting, and lots of wasted opportunites, the most ridiculous being an apple used as a gag!
