No Steed, no Avengers. But I love Emma Peel too much.

I'm not the greatest Emma Peel fan, so this was an easy choice for me. John Steed.

I voted for Emma Peel.
These arguments that 'without Steed there would be no Avengers' strike me as a little disingenuous. The question is about feelings. One could equally well say that without ABC there would have been no Avengers, but if there was a Steed v. ABC poll, I don't see ABC winning.

It's a toughie, but because of his iconic status and the fact that he was the perenial Avenger it's another vote for Mr Steed.

I really find your opinion intriguing and I do mean that in a good way. I would argue the fact that Steed was the only constant in the show. His partners were changed out every couple of years. The other problem with this question is that it has always been Steed AND Keel, Steed AND Gale, Steed AND Peel, Steed AND King, Steed AND Gambit/Purdey. So to choose between Steed and any one of his partners is almost an impossible task in my opinion.Captain Crusoe wrote:I voted for Emma Peel.

That was a great little statment Captain. And it's a great poll Dandy. Fun to think of these things when you are laid up.

Steed. He is the pretty much the soul of the Avengers, even back in the day with Dr. Keel.

Agreed! I gave in and voted for Steed- though I was leaning towards Emma.(sigh)

Steed. He was the constant thread that kept the series together through all those partner changes. The series survived when Honor, Diana and Linda left. I can't imagine it would have continued had Steed left.
It kills me that I had to vote that way, because I totally, completely, uncontrollably love Emma
In fact I have watched most of the Emma seasons over the last three days. Our area of Virginia has been in the middle of a nor'easter since Thursday, and we have been without power and TV. I do have a generator and a DVD player, so Emma it was.

I have to applaud those that voted Steed in spite of being Emma Peel supporters. Fair play to you.
