That's ok, being in your "poll" is not that important to me. I just like talking about what a big Emma Peel fan I am!

Coming of age during the Emma Peel era (and having had the indescribable delight of seeing her onstage twice since), all my favorites are from those years. There are so many great episodes, but using brute force I would say these, in no special order: * Murdersville * Dial a Deadly Number * Who’s Wh...

There will never be another Diana Rigg (sigh).

Get Smart , being a comedy on at an early hour was of cours...

Yes, I think the ending itself is very well done! It's one of the best moments in the whole series. But I always think, why didn't Peter Peel come up to Steed's apartment and meet him? They should have been interested in meeting each other. Personally I don't think that would've worked. The ending ...

First saw The Avengers when the Rigg monochrome episodes were shown on ABC-USA as a summer replacement series, as they were called back in the 60s when they needed something to fill the time slots of shows which had bombed ratings-wise. I was big into the spy genre watching I Spy, Man From U.N.C.L....
