LINDA THORNSON WAS HOTTTTTT!

Honor Blackman as Cathy Gale was incredible. A hard act to follow! But fortunately we got Diana Rigg, Linda Thorson, and Joanna Lumley, all fabulous ladies as well.

I wish that they had decided to use these titles for the series

@bmorsette - These titles were made for the first batch of Tara King episodes when they were broadcast in America before the suit of armour titles were made. The UK transmissions only had the armour titles though the episode Split! accidentally had these.

And that's why they chose to have Mrs.Peel in the 1998 remake? Exactly.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but Mrs Peel is wit out doubt the most popular.

@MrChickybee1 I think you've got your understanding of what a 'fact' is wrong. I was expressing an opinion.

This version sounds awesome with a good bass boost ;)

Diana Rigg set the standard, Linda Thorson was a substitute.

This is my favorite Avengers intro out of all the Avengers intros.

@madmax8903 Linda Thorson may not be as sexy as Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg, but she was good-looking in an attainable way. Women (and, certainly, men) seem to prefer the unattainable standards of beauty (look at such modern Barbie Dolls as Heidi Montag), and that's why we have problems such as eating disorders, low self-esteem among girls and women, and an insane obsession over cosmetic surgery. Beauty doesn't have to be this way.

@bjroberts65 And Canadian, too. She was born in Toronto, but studied dance in London, England. I think she's prettier than Diana Rigg, aka Emma Peel (not that she's a dog) - and, look at those legs! (I'm a girl and, although I'm heterosexual, I make certain judgments on women's looks.)

British agents had class! ...everything changed since then
I bought DVD's with Linda Thorson eps, but they didn't have this opening. Were there two openings for that season??

Yes,I have the DVD-box episodes 1-6 (1968-1969)and there are two openings.Episode "Split!" for example, has this intro.
