Personally, I think Cathy Gale has a lot of raw sex appeal, is very tough and very independent, quite attractive and takes no guff whatsoever from Steed; things which hold a great deal of appeal to me. She would be number one on my list except for one fact: I don't care much for blond hair. If she had black hair, look out...

Tara King has the dark hair (most of the time, anyhow), and is very cute, but she's just a little too childlike for my tastes...

Purdey is quite attractive, yes, but every time I watch TNA I feel like I'm watching a really bad Dynasty episode, so there's that. (Don't ask me what that has to do with it, I don't know, either). She's also too darned tall...

I reckon I'd have to go with Emma Peel...
'She's also too darned tall'...in fact Emma and Tara are taller than Purdey ! Maybe it's because Purdey can look so skinny at times she appears to be 'too darned tall' :) I like your take on Cathy... physically so impressive and possibly the toughest Avenger girl ,though a tussle between her and Purdey could be one helluva one :oops:

Best figure - Honor Blackman
Best wardrobe - Diana Rigg
Best eyes - Linda Thorson
Best everyday hairstyle - Joanna Lumley

All stunning beauties. Impossible to pick one over another.
Honor Blackman had a stunning figure but so too did Linda Thorson ! Linda also wore the 'Purdey bob' ever before Joanna Lumley and looked stunning with it 8) And what Avenger could match Joanna Lumley's long lean legs and pose so sexily as she did in famed sitting pose in blue chiffon dress showcasing those fantastic athletic pins to perfection :wink: Who could match Purdey's hauteur ?

They're all very attractive women. Thankfully, that's not the sum total of their characters.

Let's be certain to rank the physical merits of the men too.

I'm sorry, does no one think this is kind of disrespectful to these women? To divide and compartmentalize them and set them up against each other according to their respective physical merits? It doesn't seem fair to just treat them as nothing but their physical characteristics. Aren't they more than that?
