Trivia: Rigg's character's name, "Emma Peel", was derived from what the producers wanted her character to have: "Man Appeal". That was later shortened to "M. Appeal", which, in turn, became "Emma Peel". Pretty cool.
I must have been in my early teens when I saw the episode when Mrs. Peel's catsuit is unzipped (a tantalising 3 inches, if that). I think my sleep was disturbed for the next 6 months, and I've never forgotten it!
@satinbarbi I was a bit older and took it to the bank. Voted NYC's best dominatrix of the 1980s by an independent panel of men's magazine editors in the '90s, based on input over time. Full costume on a Pennsy Dutch gal. They couldn't resist. Hee hee hee!
5-stars!...listen very closely how natural and real emma peel talks in this clip! (the study uma turman in 1998 avengers movie remake barfbag movie) emma peel does not talk like fake royalty!.catsuit and sexy fetish is not enough! there are beautiful brains behind dame diana riggs acting!./ @milwaukee

this how sucks! this aint no avengers! where's captain america, iron man, thor, the hulk, ant-man, and hawkeye? marvel comics should sue this show for using the name 'avengers'!
@cornbreadthedog yeah.... i hope you are being sarcastic. If not, you ARE a dumbass. I am so glad to be in my 40s and now some dumb 20 year old doofus. We had the best shows growing up, not the crap we have nowadays!
i'm also in my 40's. as a child in a violent neighborhood, i learned to read by marvel comics..especially THE AVENGERS comics. for the record, because of comics i'm now an english teacher with two b.a.'s behind me. i'm hardly a doofus.also, comics shook their kiddie image a long time ago. they're not only a billion dollar business but they're cool storyboards for fun movies yet to be made.. and, yes, i was being sarcastic...i dug diana rigg, too.
@Skelex20 ...read the last two lines of my previous post for your answer. and for the record, you can't have two b.a.'s and a six figure side buisness being inanely stupid.
I remember this series very well; I think that every guy watched this solely to catch Ms. Emma Peel, especially when she wore that killer black-leather outfit. This sweet Lady had it all: brains, beauty, and she could kick butt as well with her "karate". The opening theme song was also very catchy, also her accent.
The hairdo is simple yet sexy and elegant (similar to what Laura Petrie wore on "The Dick Van Dyke Show".
The Avengers was on for many years but changed style and partners every couple years. The Emma Peel episodes (only 2 years) had a lot of sci-fi elements like shrinking machines, invisible men, robots and weather machines but not so much the other years and really not at all the several years leading up to Emma Peel. Doesn't bother me though if you want to call it Sci-Fi, a rose by any other name...
Only Steed could use a champagne cork as a weapon! "...an adaptable wine!" Did anyone notice the prehistoric pagers (that were going to be used as boobytraps)? Cutting edge technology at the time.
It's always amazed me that not one sole on the show ever acknowledged or complimented Mrs Peel on her fabulous leather outfits......and I must say that the leather gloves really finished me off.......
The Avengers had the dumbest mysteries. Oddly, what it lacked in drama & suspense it tried to make for in comic surrealism. It was over-the-top without being campy. That's too bad because this show had more gay characters than Bewitched.
Diana Rigg is the epitome of stylish wit and 60's Mod look that was used really well for"Austin Powers"...She was also good as the MC for "Mystery"...I like Alan Cummings but bring in also Diana Rigg..I also like off the record Gillian Anderson for Masterpiece on PBS..

Most TV compendiums list show not as mystery, thriller or what have you, but as Sci-Fi.
I totally agree. I have to, or Peter Cushings' Cybernauts will kill me.
