I adore that scene. It's just so Avengers and cosy and quaint.Frankymole wrote:For me it is when Steed produces a complete afternoon tea (including little cakes on a stand, boiling kettle etc) from his carpet bag on the train to Little Bazeley in The Town of No Return.
Sums up the 'difference' of the series beautifully.

Re: Sexual innuendo Subtext in dialogue
From Death at Bargain Prices when Steed and Peel are discussing store owner Mr. Kane living at the store's discontinued line department: Peel- "You should fit right in." Steed- (leering at her body)"That's a matter of opinion." To this day I blush whenever I watch this epi. Am I alone here?megan130 wrote:Is anyone ever shocked at some of the things the characters would say for even in the 60's, using present day and age possible meanings.

A shady character asks Steed if he'd lost his 'balls' and Pat as Steed replies he'd found them with a vigor!! :shock:
I loved them as a kid thinking they were SOO cool but never understood how risque they were especially for the US in that time. Love it.

I made this a while ago and quite forgot about it. The way I've edited it makes Steed look like he's warming his hands up and putting them ... somewhere. Purely unintentional ...
