I honestly think that they tried to make her look older than she was. I thought she looked fantastic in the orange suit from the credits, the pink furry coat from 'Have Guns', and in the short brown leather from 'They Keep Killing Steed'. And she looked a corker in the pink chiffon flowing thingy below. But the rest of it :? I thought the idea was for Tara to look more femenine that Cathy or Emma, she actually looked more like a bloke a lot of the time !

I think Linda loathed that outfit almost as much as Joanna hated that "green slime" pseudo-Emmapeeler. I remember reading an interview where she remembered it quite vividly--including the "sleazy gold shoes." (Her words, not mine).

I think that red pantsuit with the floral blouse is one of Tara's worst outfits. I don't know what Alun Hughes was thinking when he designed it, but it didn't flatter Linda's figure at all. Many of the pantsuits didn't. I preferred her minidresses and cullottes ensembles more. Showed off the boots better, too. Tara got some great footwear.

The people who designed that outfit...What drugs were they using? Please tell me they were on something...anything...No one in their right mind could have designed that while sober and thought it looked good!

It was the sixties. Anything's possible. :wink: That's got to be Emma's worst outfit though. I'm still not entirely certain what it's supposed to be!

Patrick may be laughing now, but that's only because he hasn't yet hit the sideburns and patterned shirt stage. I guess even agents have mid-life crises...

This farce of a costume is the factual proof that anything wasn't possible, even in the sixties !
