Tara, for the same reasons that I preferred Purdey over Cathy. Cathy was just too antagonistic for my taste.
And, I still hate the leather "leisure suit" Cathy wore. Sure, it was functional - but it was ugly.

From the sounds of things, no--apparently it was all stiff and creaky. But the bottom of the pants didn't split open, and that's all they were worried about. (Gareth had the same problem doing fights in unforgivingly tight seventies trousers. Do my great relief, they never gave him leather pants.Dandy Forsdyke wrote:Masculine, yes. But ugly?
Question: would leather really be functional for fighting?

I believe the right leather, if correctly sewn would have worked well. Motorcycle leathers come to mind. They're tough and flexible.Dandy Forsdyke wrote:Masculine, yes. But ugly?

Maybe "ugly" is the wrong word. I just thought that fighting leathers shouldn't have been cut like an everyday man's suit.

She could have been a Cathy clone - and was for a fraction of one episode - but due to the efforts of Diana Rigg Emma Peel became her own person. However I agree that the roots of Emma are in Cathy quite clearly.
I think Tara's predecessor, in that way of thinking, was possibly Venus. I agree that Purdey was a little bit of each of them and a little bit of none of them.
