The Avengers - The Complete Emma Peel Megaset description Along with Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Avengers practically defined British cult television, and it was never better than during the three years that Diana Rigg's Emma Peel character tossed out her witty barbs and karate kicks. The Complete Emma Peel Megaset encompasses all 51 episodes from 1965-66 (in black and white) and 1967 (in color). Paired with Patrick Macnee as the dapper, umbrella-wielding John Steed, Rigg's Mrs. Peel turned heads with her sexy outfits, then broke skulls of the various would-be world-dominating bad guys who crossed her path. Like the mixed crime-fighting teams who came after them in shows like Moonlighting and The X-Files, Steed and Mrs. Peel had a constant platonic playfulness. In one episode when Mrs. Peel is working undercover at a department store, Steed drops in for a visit, remarking, "They told me 'Mrs. Peel is in Ladies Underwear.' I rattled up the stairs three at a time." However, unlike their spiritual successors, Steed and Mrs. Peel never jumped the shark; instead she bid a fond farewell as she passed the torch to Steed's next partner, Tara King (Linda Thorson), just as she had been passed the torch from Honor Blackman. (Blackman left her Kathy Gale character to go on to fame as Pussy Galore in Goldfinger--in one episode, Steed receives a postcard from Gale sent from Fort Knox.) But although Macnee had some enjoyable moments with other partners throughout the series' run, it's the Emma Peel years that fans remember most fondly, not only for the great chemistry between the lead actors, but the superb writing and distinctly British, and distinctly '60s, quirky charm. The megaset was rereleased in 2006 in space-saving Thinpaks and with a new 216-minute bonus disc. --David Horiuchi The Avengers - The Complete Emma Peel Megaset Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ Emma Peel (The Avengers) Megaset If you are a fan of the Avengers then this is for you. Part of the series is in black and white, and part in colour as it was. Easy to play and easy to watch. Emma Peel and John Steed are government agents who tackle a variety of Mastermind type criminals, who have both political and financial gains to make. Steed is a relatively clever "gentleman" who knows all about wine etc. Mrs Peel on the other hand tends to be the one doing much of the fighting and is far the more intellectually clever of the team. If you are a UK customer check that you have a multi region DVD player, as it is Region 1 (USA). I did have a problem with the set; 1 received 2 of the 67-5 series and no 67-6 series. Amazon swiftly sorted the problem and sent me a new one.   1     2     3   Non User
