We look back at DianaRigg's first season as EmmaPeel in TheAvengers, still one of the most influential shows and one of the most influential action heroines in pop culture history. / PatrickMacnee JohnSteed
\nThe Avengers, the classic comedy oddball crime caper series, became the classic show fans know and love with the entrance of Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in 1965. It was in her first season, the fifth season of the show, that the show came into focus. Patrick Macnee's John Steed finally became the debonair English Gentleman in the bowler hat, the Saville Row suit, and the all-purpose brolly this season from the moment he stepped into Emma Peel's flat.
A training school for butlers and maids is really a training ground for undercover assassins. A chic department store hides a hotbed of crime and murder. An exclusive club for posh people is a secret society for kink and murder. With plots like these, The Avengers took the theme from previous seasons of the dark secrets in post-War Britain to odder, more surreal, and satirical heights. The season is unique for being the last time the show spoofed British institutions.
