@ Alex McKenna: You're quite right. The kids of today don't know, that The Avengers exist. I can see it at my school. e.g.:
I was reading one of my books about The Avengers, with lots of this wonderful pictures of Steed and Mrs. Peel. So, the others were watching at this pictures and asked me, that it is. I told them, that is a TV series from the 60s, called The Avengers. Most of them shook their heads and said: "You're a nut case!". But there was an smaller group, which said. "Yeah, it looks nice." Of course the girls said to Emma's wardrobe: "So beautiful siuts, dresses,... and she looks so pretty!". Well and to Steed naturally: "He looks so cute, like a real gentleman and more handsome than James Bond." (That's true, they exactly said this!!)
Our boys didn't said so much, they just gaped at the picture of Emma in "A Touch Of Brimstone" (you know, this special picture as the Queen of Sin).
I think, it was my mistake, because I was reading exactly at this page and as I wanted to turn the page and they said: "Stop, stop. We'd like to see this picture." (I thought, oh no.... not THAT picture! -__-)
And they snapped my book!
*furious*
In a nutshell, the boys were amused and the girl were fascinated by this "pretty people" (of course, they are pretty) in my book.
But that's it. Nobody was interested to know more about the TV Series and how amazing The Avengers are. That makes me sad.
The good thing I have, some teachers smile, when they see the title or a picture of them.
But show me a picture or a video of Steed and/or Emma, I automatically start to smile.
Sincerely yours,
