Sums up the 'difference' of the series beautifully.

I adore that scene. It's just so Avengers and cosy and quaint.

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.

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?

I think that Avengers try to create a perfect world and by that try some moments seems as you said "campy"

How ever for me are those moments in store by "Death at bargain prices" only enjoyable and for me, the Avengers helping me relax in my present sad and difficulty time

Yogi Bear (and some Daleks!) in "The Avengers" is a great thing.

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 ...
