Patrick Macnee (Scrooge, The Fantastic Seven) and Dame Diana Rigg (On Her
Majesty's Secret Service, Mrs. Bradley Mysteries) save the world in style in the kitsch espionage classic, The
Avengers.
Part adventure, part fantasy and part science fiction, The Avengers is one of
the most popular and recognizable British series to this day.
While considered a novice, wealthy widow Mrs. Emma Peel can out-sleuth and
out-fight the most dastardly villains and diabolical masterminds. Independent, fearless, cunning, and
quick-witted-Emma is the perfect partner in espionage for expert agent John Steed (Patrick Macnee).
John Steed (full name John Wickham Gascoyne Berresford Steed) is a debonair
undercover agent with a taste for classic cars and fine clothes. His polished appearance belies his prowess as
a top professional agent. He is never without his steel-lined bowler hat and poison gas umbrella and always
manages to charm his way inside the operations he's trying to topple.
With the words, "Mrs. Peel, we're needed," Steed summons his partner-the
always dressed-to-kill Mrs. Peel-and the dynamic duo spring into action. With Steed's poised savoir faire and
Mrs. Peel's judo punches, the duo triumph over aliens from Venus, violent birds of prey, invisible men, and
deadly robots.
