Okay, say later middle aged. She has a fluffy perm and thick glasses which ain't young. I suspect they sneakily used the crew despite equity rules because of the rippled glass and they thought they could get away with it. It's certainly not the horde of teenagers you'd expect from the dialogue.

I knew lots of schoolchildren with thick glasses!! Quite prevalent in the 60s and 70s especially in the UK with "National Health glasses" issued by the State being very chunky :)

Yep. I was wrong about the glasses but she's clearly at least middle aged.

I can't really imagine the tag scene of Steed being hunted down to his home by love-crazed teenaged schoolgirls being acceptable in anything made these days.

I'm amazed they left it intact for this repeat broadcast, to be honest. All it will take is one complaint and it'll be banned in today's "cancel culture".
I hope nobody ever edits any episode of 'The Avengers'; what happened in the past happened and we can't change it!

Not old, just a bit "plain"! I went to primary school with some girls who looked like that aged 6 :D

I always reasoned in my head that they were teachers, I’ll always find a way to make production issues work 😂
