In your opinion, which fight was Emma's best?
I heard in The Cybernauts she fights a karate expert and wins.
And I've heard some good stuff about Death's Door too.
Emma Peel's Best Fight?

I'm not sure there was a "good" fight by Emma. For all the hype about her studying gung-fu, Diana pretty much had zero technique, and if she ever saw the inside of a kwoon, I would be much surprised. Besides, her techniques (such as they were) were more of a karate style than a wushu (gung-fu) style.
Tara, on the other hand had a pretty decent tomoe-nage. She must have - as she used it in virtually every fight scene.
Not that it's a bad thing. The "fights" were pretty much choreographed in the same tongue-in-cheek style of the series.

I like the fight in Death at Bargain Prices.
Agreed about Tara and tomoenage - except in reality I think she'd have ended up with some of those people flat on her face!
I think Honor was the only one who received any special training, gaining a brown belt in Judo. I don't know how long she practiced it, but I'd be surprised if she managed to attain a brown belt in the time she was playing Mrs Gale.
For me as stated in another thread it has to be 'Give me the gun! Give me gun!' from 'Death At Bargain Prices' - one I re-enact when drunk apparently as all my friends know it even though some of them have never seen the episode

Well the fault is certainly mine Barry, it's a scene that many think is fantastic, I just can't grasp it Now the scene with Emma having her lunch, that is wonderful ! I could watch it over and over and over again and never get boredDiVicenzo wrote:I'm sorry you don't get the same thrill as me IanAvengerholic wrote:Death at Bargain Prices is my all time favourite Avengers episode but I've never got the appeal of that particular scene.
