intrigue, comedy and sex appeal.
thats what makes up the gist of each episode of
The Avengers
its something that i purchased on dvd the other month. my parents loved this
show when it was on back in the late 60's, and i like it too. i remember seeing
some of the 'new avengers' the updated color version that came out sometime
later. (ok so i dont know the full history, i'm sure i can look it up online
somewhere)
the weirdest was that my dad used to go on about emma peel and now after seeing
a few episodes i understand. her character was always in some sort of leather
outfit, which considering the social norms of that time, was probably a bit
risque, but not that risky. nice to look at tho... i guess its the same today
even if today's tv does beat it into our heads a bit more...
