I recently got SO excited when I heard that a new film of The Avengers was being made. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that it was to be a film based on some Marvel comics that I didn't know a thing about :-(
The Avengers is the best ever spy TV series about John Steed and Emma Peel. Diana Rigg played the absolute coolest spy woman in the world. She was intelligent, sexy, kickass, gorgeous and absolutely oozed cool 60s style. Safe to say that when I was a child (and now) she was my idol. As a kid I was so convinced that I would grow up to become a spy. Someone needs to get this show back onto our televisions! I think it would still be just as popular today.
To try and get over my ever growing disappointment that the wrong Avengers is being made into a film I have done some reminiscing. Here are some visual reminders of the best TV show ever...
Thanks for posting this
ReplyDeleteI really miss the idea of a woman in a tv show that is both beautiful and fierce/intelligent. Even a show like 'New Girl' sets Zoe Deschanel in a sort of 'geeky--but-too-naive' way and let's not talk about the constant steam of dolly girls in tv shows
Glad you enjoyed it! I know what you mean. Their just aren't any female characters like Emma Peel around any more. It's really sad. Let hope they bring it back! x
