I misread "Season 5" as "Season 4"... what can I say?

All I remember about "The Master Minds" is the trampoline scene

Haha! Yes, that was an interesting off-beat moment for Mrs. Peel. Any scene where she "let's her hair down" is a cherished moment.
Then again it is a gym- what else would you do with a trampoline.

Speaking of this episode...does it seem almost as if it's two episodes in one? I think that fact that the scenery changes from Sir Clive Todd's house to the girl's school gives me that illusion. Sorry, I digress but I wondered if anyone else felt this way.

Great shot, Dandy. Rigg looks great with her hair like that.

Very beautiful. Nicely done with the colour. The Grave-diggers, isn't it? Wanda Ventham as Nurse Spray in that episode was also lovely.

Having just watched A Sense of History again I have to say the Robin Hood costume was one of her best. She looked absolutely stunning! Wonderful episode, I only wish it had been in colour.

The cybernauts out fir green with white trim catsuit was superb. There are too many to choose from. This one was particularly unusual.

And I like the tartan suit in Castle De'Ath. Plus, am I the only one who actually liked Emma's early Cathy Gale look, all the wonderful skirt-suit sets with the slingbacks and the gloves and handbags? And her hair is so wonderfully fluffy. I think I partly associate them with a really young, fresh Diana, before season 2 syndrome kicked in and she started to get tired and lose weight. She's just lovely in them. Great, classic clothes. I know they moved the character away from them, but I think they worked into Emma's progression nicely--I always imagine her as starting out as a Knight Industries businesswoman, and getting more and more action-oriented as she spends more time with Steed.

always thought the outfits were an product of the era..
No, I liked those clothes too and her hair was fabulous in some of those early episodes but I always preferred her hair wind-swept as in THTNW. I don't think there are any of Emma's outfits I hate - just not fond of those laced-up catsuits - far too fussy!
Thos outfits always seem to come in for some flack for some reason, so it's nice to know someone else likes them! I think Emma was consistently the best-dressed character in the series (probably followed closely by Cathy)--other than that weird windshield half-catsuit, there wasn't a single outfit where I think they really missed the mark. I actually like the Emmapeelers better than the leather outfits--ironically, considering they were so iconic and bought the show so much attention, I've always been a bit underwhelmed by them, and I didn't really miss them when they were phased out after season 4. But then, I'm not a guy.
