The Avengers (1960s)	comment	The Avengers is a very popular (and often-revamped) British Spy Fiction series that ran during most of The '60s (from 1961 to 1969). It was created by Sydney Newman (a few years before he created Doctor Who) and produced by Associated British Corporation (or ABC, unrelated to the identically-abbreviated American TV channel) for ITV. The series aired a total of 161 episodes across six seasons - undertaking an abnormally-wide Genre Shift from a dour noir-influenced crime drama to a lighthearted and fantastical spoof comedy in the process - popularized the Action Girl archetype as a TV staple and singlehandedly started the Spy Catsuit trope.While the series generally centred on the escapades of John Steed (played by Patrick Macnee, who would later appear in a James Bond film) and a revolving series of co-stars, its most famous incarnation, between 1965 and 1968, paired Macnee with Diana Rigg (who would later appear in a Bond film) as Emma Peel. In earlier seasons (1962-1964), the female co-star was Honor Blackman (who would later appear in a Bond film).The series was originally created as a vehicle for Ian Hendry (who would not-quite appear in a not-quite Bond film), to capitalise on the popularity he had developed during his previous show, the realistic crime drama Police Surgeon. In the pilot, his character, the subdued and pragmatic practitioner Dr David Keel, was recruited by charming-but-hard-edged spy John Steed (Macnee) as a part-time expert assistant in return for Steed's help capturing the murderers of Keel's fiancÃ©e; this was pretty much the last time in the series any actual avenging took place. The ensuing first season was generally a gritty and hardboiled (and decidedly low-budget) crime melodrama, centring around cases such as drug smugglers, arms dealers and urban gang warfare, often within the confines of a realistically-presented early-'60s London. Contrary to subsequent seasons, the show was frequently divided between Keel-centered (focalizing smaller-scale local or domestic crimes and conflicts) and Steed-centered episodes (focalizing his international assignments), thus presenting Keel and Steed more as recurring collaborators and co-protagonists as opposed to a regularly-partnered duo. As the season progressed, the series gradually became a moderate success, with Steed becoming a minor breakout character among viewers.A TV strike delayed the start of the second season, so Hendry left to pursue a film career. Steed subsequently became the show's definitive central character and the production team started to explore other partnerships. The first, lasting just three episodes, was Dr. King, a blatant Suspiciously Similar Substitute of Keel. He was followed up by stories that alternately paired Steed up with nightclub singer Venus Smith (played by Julie Stevens, who has never appeared in a Bond film) and female spy and anthropologist Catherine "Cathy" Gale (arguably TV's first true Action Girl, and played by Blackman, who, as noted already, would later appear in a Bond film). Cathy, who was initially written similarly to Dr. Keel (Word of God is that some of her early scripts were actually written for Hendry), proved to be the more popular and Venus was quietly dropped. With Steed now consistently partnered with his now-female co-protagonist (instead of entering and withdrawing from their otherwise-mundane daily occupation on call), much of his initial lechery and guarded shadiness was gradually removed in favor of a more affable and debonair characterization, although he would nonetheless retain elements of his ruthlessness and manipulative prowess, as demonstrated by his frequent tendency to both unscrupulously conceal information from Gale and abruptly throw her into elaborate, pre-emptively calculated cat-and-mouse ruses. Steed and Gale's relationship was resultantly cagier and more tenuous than that of the series' later leading duos, although a degree of underlying sexual tension began to form between the pair as of the third season.This retooling of the show became a massive smash. With a consistent Agents Dating format, the more mundane villains and smaller-scale urban dramas of the first season began to fade in favour of pulpier, more bombastic plots centred on international espionage, political corruption and industrial sabotage, albeit while retaining a hard-edged tone and emphasis on sordid moral dilemmas; by its third season, the series had effectively evolved into an intricately-plotted spy thriller as opposed to a sombre crime series. Partially owing to this genre shift, the show began to feature more overtly unrealistic concepts - among them criminal doppelgangers, electromagnetic weapons concealed within watermills and fanatical conspiracies to reignite the Roman Empire - during this period, although these were more the exception than the rule.Following the third season's conclusion in 1964, Blackman left to pursue a film career (playing Pussy Galore in Goldfinger, a Bond film). Following one-and-a-half unsuccessful (and never broadcast) episodes pairing Macnee with Elizabeth Shepherd, Steed was joined by Diana Rigg as Mrs. Emma Peel, described as a "talented amateur" (the Shepherd episodes were reedited and recycled into Rigg episodes). Buoyed by the national success of the Gale era, ABC banked on revamping the show to pursue American TV markets and, aided by funding from the American ABC network, increased its budget per episode to a then-lavish Â£56,000 GBP (from an average of Â£6000 for the previous season), enabling the show to convert from videotape to the more cinematographically-versatile medium of 35mm film (and thus compete with its U.S. contemporaries visually). Whereas episodes in previous seasons were filmed in a single session due to lower budgets (producing a "pseudo-live" aesthetic), the revamped series' boosted production values granted episodes access to a legitimate editing process, rendering their visual pacing noticeably brisker. Brian Clemens, previously a writer on the show's first and third seasons, was likewise promoted to the head writer position, with newly-appointed producer Albert Fennell supervising the translation of Clemens' story ideas into physically and financially-feasible episodes.Owing to Rigg's energetic charisma (and chemistry with Macnee), Clemens' more whimsical, fantasy-oriented inclinations and its upgraded production values, the show resultantly became much more stylish, fast-paced and irreverent - even gaining a now-iconic new theme song - although it wasn't until the next season that it was produced in colour. Mrs. Peel — whose husband didn't make an appearance until her final episode — set the trend of the Spy Catsuit and continued the gentleman spy / Action Girl setup, although the further evolution of Steed into a mannerly, exaggeratedly British gentleman (as opposed to the conniving and unscrupulous alpha male of the Keel and Gale eras) gave this era's incarnation of the dynamic a decidedly more parodic flavour. Possibly due to the more international reach of their seasons as co-stars, Steed and Mrs. Peel became the show's most iconic pairing, becoming synonymous with the cultural memory of the series (and its associated merchandise) at large despite featuring in less than a third of the show's overall run. The Peel seasons (particularly the colour-produced season 5) are likewise the only period of the show to have received significant reruns across much of the globe, further cementing this image to later generations of viewers.The stories, meanwhile, abandoned realistic crime altogether in favour of diabolical masterminds and accordingly became crazier and crazier — Carnivorous plants from the moon! Murderous robots! Assassination by laser! Inventors dressed as comic book superheroes! Killer rainclouds! Invisible spies! Housecats brainwashed to kill! Politicians hypnotised into becoming children! A Shrink Ray! — typifying the swinging cool of 1960s Britain, particularly to American audiences of the period.Eventually Rigg, weary from the show's rigorous production schedule and frustrated by the staff's refusal to pay her proportionately for her leading role, left Steed for the doomed embrace of George Lazenby's Bond, and Steed took on his last partner, Tara King. Tara (played by Linda Thorson, who has not appeared in a Bond film,note though she was apparently considered for Diamonds Are Forever for both Tiffany Case and Plenty O'Toole, and Albert R. Broccoli reportedly told Thorson she was never cast in a Bond film because she didn't have long hair... which ironically might be because of The Avengers; she was asked to bleach her hair blonde to distinguish her from Diana Rigg's Emma Peel, but a dye failure ruined her hair, having to wear a wig for several episodes, but made up for it by being the only one of the bunch to appear on Star Trek) was a young spy fresh from training (the first of Steed's partners to officially share his occupation) characterized as hero-worshipping Steed, who correspondingly became more of a mentor figure. While less resourceful and adept at physical combat than Gale or Peel (thus drawing some criticism for eroding the show's progressive qualities), King nonetheless qualified as an Action Girl.Regardless of audience reception towards Tara King, however, Thorson would immediately be faced with the misfortune of fronting the show's most significant production disaster. Following the fifth season, the US ABC network, desiring more control over the show's production, fired showrunners Clemens and Fennell and reinstalled Cathy Gale-era producer John Bryce. Bryce's subsequent attempts to rewind the clock stylistically and return the show to a more hard-edged tone (even contemplating replacing Laurie Johnson's iconic theme with a rearrangement of Johnny Dankworth's theme from the first three seasons) proved catastrophic owing to his inexperience helming the revised production flow the show had adopted in his absence. With only three episodes completed far behind schedule, Bryce was dismissed and Clemens and Fennell were reluctantly rehired to helm the season on a truncated schedule (forcing scripts to be put to camera with fewer revisions than the Peel era). While the King era (comprising solely season 6) thus emerged as a modified variant on the Peel era's comedy-fantasy format (albeit with sporadic darker elements), the show's doom was sealed by the ABC network scheduling it against the ratings juggernaut Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, vastly reducing the show's exposure in the U.S. Resultantly, the series was quietly cancelled, thus open-endedly launching Steed and King into the vacuum of space for its appropriately-titled finale "Bizarre". While viewed as a ratings disappointment in the U.S., the King season would acquire notable popularity in France during the early 1970s, setting the scene for the series' eventual resurrection.A short-lived revival was attempted by Clemens and Fennell in 1976, titled The New Avengers, starring Macnee and Joanna Lumley (who's better known for Absolutely Fabulous, but had earlier appeared in a Bond film) as Purdey. Oh, and Gareth Hunt, the guy from the Nescafe adverts (but who, in lieu of actual Bond films, appeared in the James Bond parody Licensed to Love and Kill instead), as Mike Gambit. While Lumley and Hunt were initially the sole leads, the revival's French backers, due to the previously-mentioned domestic popularity of the Tara King season, insisted that Macnee reprise his role as Steed. Nonetheless, Macnee would later expressed his distaste for the revival in interviews, viewing it as sacrificing much of the Peel era's whimsical comedy in favor of emulating Starsky & Hutch. Following the cancellation of the revival, Brian Clemens repeatedly attempted to pitch further continuations of the series - most notably a completed script for a film adaptation (aptly titled The First Avengers Movie) intended to feature Macnee and Hunt alongside several new co-stars - throughout the 1980s, none of which were ultimately greenlit.In 1998 the show was made into a movie starring Ralph Fiennes (who now appears in Bond films) and Uma Thurman (who may or may not appear in some future Bond film yet), whose only redeeming quality was Sean Connery (who had appeared in many Bond films) hamming it up as an evil Scotsman, and is otherwise disowned by fans of the series for straying too far from its concept.In the 1990s, the franchise was revived by Eclipse Comics and writer Grant Morrison (who has not appeared in a Bond film, but who has their own superspy alter-ego already). It could not be titled The Avengers thanks to Marvel Comics, and so was instead retitled Steed and Mrs. Peel, as it had been in the short-lived 60s Gold Key Comics series. This comic was reprinted twenty years later by Boom! Studios, who then continued it as an ongoing series with newly-written stories, starting with writer Mark Waid (who became the only person to write for both these Avengers and the other Avengers, but has never been in a Bond film).As of late 2020, Linda Thorson and Julie Stevens are the last living main cast members, with both Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg having passed away earlier that year.Not to be confused with the American comic book superhero team or its film adaptation, the latter of which was renamed Avengers Assemble for the British market for precisely this reason.

Trick is "Who's Who" is a body swap episode. Emma and Steed have their minds in the bodies of the villains and are tied up in a warehouse somewhere, while the villains are the ones in Steed's flat, in Steed and Peel's bodies, getting comfy and kissing while they live it up and continue with their evil plot. Of course, since it's just the same sets of actors switching roles, that's STILL Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg full-on frenching each other, so do with that what you will. And we'll remind you this is while they are playing villains.

In fact, many male and female bikers wear something similar but more colourful right now. As the time went on, catsuits began to shine, reveal and tighten to the point of asphyxiation.

Christopher Lee appears as a military officer interrogating prisoners. In real life he had served in RAF intelligence and did just that to Nazi war criminals.

The Avengers (1960s) / int_479f9ad0	comment	Characterization Marches On: During the first season, Steed's character was a more rough-and-tumble operative than the suave, sophisticated gentleman he became culturally enshrined as. He's also quite manipulative and unscrupulous in the Cathy Gale era, which led to conflict between the two. It wasn't until the Emma Peel era where he truly became the familiar chivalrous gentleman. The first episode Honor Blackman filmed was "Death Dispatch," where Cathy is rather tolerant of Steed's sexist attitude towards her, which would have been unthinkable in her later episodes. The first episode Diana Rigg filmed was "The Murder Market," where it's clear that Emma's character hadn't clicked just yet. Instead of her usual bright, razor-sharp wit, she is low-key, almost sultry. Other anomalies include her uncharacteristic, rather Cathy-ish lashing-out at Steed and her awkward catfight with the female baddie.

The Avengers (1960s) / int_74b85afd	comment	If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!: In "Intercrime," Cathy infiltrates a member of a gang by posing as a member, Hilda. Unfortunately, the real Hilda escapes from custody and confronts her. The boss, Felder, decides there's only one way to decide it, and leads them both to Kressler, declaring the real Hilda wouldn't hesitate to carry out the penalty, and produces a revolver. He hands it to Cathy and she's about to shoot him, then turns the gun on the villains - but the gun is empty, and she's apprehended.

At Murder!," a group of man-hating and power-hungry Sexy Secretaries form a secret collective to murder their bosses (after confusing them to utter uselessness with impossible filing systems that only the secretary/the soon-to-be boss lady can understand) and take over as the executives of their respective companies, as part of a female world domination plot. Their mantra? "RUINATION TO ALL MEN!" After Emma infiltrates the group, Steed and Emma discover that the female marionette that controls the group is actually controlled BY A MAN, and the butler who the group treated like a lapdog to boot.

The Avengers (1960s) / int_7c4f6612	comment	Comic-Book Adaptation: In 1968, Gold Key Comics published a one-shot comic book based on the series, reprinting a British comic strip. However due to the fact Marvel Comics owned the name The Avengers in comics, the adaptation was titled John Steed Emma Peel, though its official title remained The Avengers in the indicia. In 1990-1991 Eclipse Comics published a 3-issue comic book mini-series (written by Grant Morrison), but it ran into the same problem so it was titled Steed and Mrs. Peel; it also suffered from a months-long delay before the release of part 3. An Avengers comic strip also ran in one of the UK weekly comic magazines, but there were no problems using the original title over there. The Steed and Mrs. Peel title of 1991 was revived by Boom! Studios in the early 2010s (beginning with a reprint of the Morrison mini-series and then moving into original tales) and ran for about 18 months. The New Avengers was adapted in comic strip form in a pair of UK-published Annuals.

He even has his own miniature railway. He longs for the good old days of the steam train and has a low opinion of cars, which leads the villains to dupe him into having a signal box he assumes is for disabling cars, when it's really for putting England into a blackout. The same episode ends with Steed driving the miniature train backwards as he tells Emma he always felt he was cut out to be an engine driver, but the family objected ("No sense of security, always on the move").

Around the time Emma Peel took over as Steed's partner, plots became a lot more cartoony and the lead spies much quippier. By the time the series shifted to colour, the show featured plots like man-eating plants, housecats trained as assassins, and an actual shrink ray. Uniquely for this trope, it's the wackier seasons that are more fondly remembered, and any attempts to bring the series back to its 'realistic' roots have been met with hostility.

In the final season he drove two yellow Rolls Royces — a 1923 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost and a 1927 Rolls Royce New Phantom. Peel drove Lotus Elan convertibles (a white 1964 and a powder blue 1966), which, like her clothes, emphasized her independence and vitality. During the first Peel series (Season 4), each episode ended with a short, humorous scene of the duo leaving the scene of their most recent adventure in some unusual vehicle. Mother occasionally appeared in silver Rolls-Royce. Tara King drove an AC 428 and a Lotus Europa. Lady Diana Forbes Blakeney drove an MGC Roadster.

While season 3 featured several more conceptually-outlandish antagonists (including the two comically-corrupt Dickensian lawyers in "Brief for Murder" or the outlandishly-ambitious "aspiring" Roman emperor Sir Bruno in "The Grandeur That Was Rome"), these portrayals either serve as briefer moments of absurdity within more dramatic and sobering plotlines ("Brief" features Steed ostensibly assassinating Cathy Gale and confronting the ensuing legal ramifications) or are assigned noticeably more dramatic pathos and psychological detail than the more comedic antagonists of later seasons. The earliest antagonists to be dubbed "diabolical masterminds" in-universe conversely appear in the appropriately-titled fourth season episode "The Master Minds".

The axe-wielder is incredibly fast and accurate, as evidenced by a member of the club who is missing two fingers. Steed happily goes along with the test. When the test starts, he blows the pea out of the axe's path. In "Have Guns — Will Haggle," the villains have stolen thousands of new rifles and are attempting to sell them. They demonstrate the rifles' effectiveness by standing two men together, placing two rifles an equal distance apart, and making the men run for them and try to shoot each other. Then the bad guys make Tara King participate, and her opponent is rather psychotic and an unerring shot. When the start is called, Tara doesn't go for her rifle; she runs after the guy towards his rifle and knocks him out before he can pick it up.

Rigg insisted on switching from the black leather catsuit to a colour jersey version â€” just as skintight, but far more practical for gymnastically kicking mooks in. It worked in the sixties just because it was less Stripperiffic than modern versions, and looked like something a motorcycle-riding woman would wear. In fact, many male and female bikers wear something similar but more colourful right now. As the time went on, catsuits began to shine, reveal and tighten to the point of asphyxiation.

That said, Emma is lot more easy-going and less uptight than Cathy, as well as having a more playful, flirtatious relationship with Steed. Whereas Cathy's fighting style was judo, Emma was into kung-fu and karate. Whereas Cathy was motivated by a desire to help the innocent, Emma just loves the adventure and adrenaline. Tara King is significantly younger and less experienced than either of her predecessors. Whereas they were equal partners with Steed who enjoyed a bit of flirtatious banter, Steed took on a teacher/father role to Tara. She's also sported the shortest haircuts out of the three partners of Steed. Whereas both Cathy and Emma were both widows, Tara was a single woman who hero-worshipped Steed.

The Avengers (1960s) / int_b219ac90	type	ReTool
The Avengers (1960s) / int_b219ac90	comment	Retool: The show endured an unusual number of revamps across its run, to the extent where a typical episode from season 5 is almost completely unrecognizable to one from the first season. The first season was a hardboiled, noir-influenced, low-budget crime melodrama centring on the humanistic Dr. David Keel teaming with the charismatic and mercurial operative John Steed to investigate realistic urban crimes such as gang warfare and jewel thievery. While wielding a sporadic dry sense of humour, the show nonetheless emphasized social realism and dramatic pathos. Keel and Steed were recurrently partnered, but functioned as more co-leads than a consistent double act: the season was divided between smaller-scale Keel-focused and more Bond-esque Steed-focused instalments. In the second season, Ian Hendry left and Steed became the lead. Steed then gained a new partner, the leather-clad, judo-trained Cathy Gale, the first Action Girl of many that Steed would be partnered with through the decade. While initially similar to the Keel era (with Gale similarly a humanist to Steed's unscrupulousness), the show increasingly began to engage with pulpier, more intricate plots, evolving into a hard-edged spy thriller with sporadic tongue-in-cheek elements. The third season also began to feature more outlandish concepts and antagonists, although these were often tempered by dramatic pathos or elements of social realism. The most major retool occurred between the third and fourth seasons, coinciding with Emma Peel's introduction. Now a co-production with the American ABC network, the show was significantly revamped into a lighthearted action-comedy eschewing social realism for increasingly-fantastical villains and comic interplay between the show's leads. The show's production values were likewise enormously boosted, enabling a faster visual pace and more emphasis on visual spectacle and elaborate action sequences. Even the show's opening was overhauled, resulting in the debut of Laurie Johnson's iconic theme. To this day, some fans divide the series along the line of this retool, referring to seasons 1-3 and 4-6 as two "different" shows. The ABC network attempted to impose a final retool as of season 6, firing Peel-era showrunners Brian Clemens and Albert Fennell and reinstating John Bryce (the producer of much of the Cathy Gale era) to revert the show to a darker, more dramatic thriller. A notoriously Troubled Production ensued however, resulting in Bryce's dismissal and the rehiring of Clemens and Fennell, thus aborting ABC's plans.

They did not switch voices, if only because the plot demanded that the enemy use the heroes' hijacked bodies to infiltrate British security. In an amusing touch, after each commercial break, the episode also includes a "reminder" about the swap to the viewer, but the supposedly helpful voice-announcer merely gets progressively more confused.

The Avengers (1960s) / int_ce6555f0	type	Lighter and Softer
The Avengers (1960s) / int_ce6555f0	comment	The characterization of Steed in the first three seasons was markedly different to the comically-mannerly gentleman of the Peel era. In the first season, Steed is presented as an outwardly-charming yet ruthlessly-mercurial and womanizing figure (initially lacking his trademark bowler hat and umbrella in favour of a trenchcoat; both would debut circa episode 10) recurringly emerging from the underworld to draw the more pragmatic Keel into a given episode's plot. Upon his promotion to the lead role in season 2, Steed's characterization began to gravitate towards a Lighter and Softer image, becoming more affable and urbane, although he retained noticeable elements of his earlier brusqueness and lechery: note his initial appearances with Cathy Gale, in which his attitude towards her is conspicuously more sexually-aggressive than in her later appearances. Despite the increased personability of his dynamic with Gale, Steed arguably regained numerous elements of his earlier shadiness in season 3, with multiple episode plots hinging on either the possibility of him "going rogue" (as with "Brief for Murder" or "The Nutshell") or the ramifications of his tendency to rampantly conceal information from Gale. These traits would almost entirely evaporate in the following season, rendering him a dapper British gentleman casually and covertly equipped with a myriad of skills and gadgetry instead of an unscrupulous and mercenarily-minded operative carrying elements of dandyism. Whereas his previous co-stars often functioned as humanistic foils to his schemes, Emma Peel is therefore portrayed more unequivocally as a friend to Steed.

And she sent him there via see-saw. In "A Touch of Brimstone," the Hellfire Club has a dungeon with a trap door (presumably leading to a fatal fall) activated by a secret lever attached to a wall-mounted torch. They use it to dispose of an underling who threatened to go to the police. At the end of the episode, Emma is fighting the whip-wielding head of the Hellfire Club, Cartney, in the dungeon. As she dodges his whip strikes, he accidentally snags the torch, activates the lever, and falls through the trapdoor to his doom. Steed and Emma manage to dispose of the deadly Positive-Negative Man by stripping him of one of his boots and making said foot touch the ground. Touching the ground electrocutes him and sends him flying into the ceiling.

The Avengers (1960s) / int_e82bc849	comment	Milkman Conspiracy: "False Witness" features a literal example, with the added twist that the dairy produced was absolutely central to their scheme. The series also featured, on other occasions, sinister cabals of nannies, window cleaners, hoteliers, romance novelists, secretaries, farmers, retired Vaudeville performers, butlers, knitters, a cemetery, and a matchmaking service. The "British Fanatics" in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Station" who killed government ministers by tricking them into getting off trains at disused stations, and then murdering them. Why? Because the trains no longer run on time under the current government...

The Avengers (1960s) / int_eba3ccea	comment	Fauxtastic Voyage: "Escape In Time" involved a criminal mastermind who had created a fake time machine. He offered to send other criminals into the past, the ultimate untraceable hideout, and gave them a brief trip into various periods of the past (actually well-dressed sets) to "prove" the time machine was genuine. Once they were convinced, they paid him a fortune for their permanent escape â€” and were promptly killed as soon as they handed over the money. In "Pandora," Tara is abducted and taken to a house convinced that it's 1915 and she is Pandora, the deceased wife of a dying old man.

Cathy joins him for breakfast, but the whole scene is played for product placement, the packet taking up the entire screen for several seconds, and remains clearly in view for nearly a minute, until Steed has demolished the box and thrown cornflakes everywhere. It's not a last-minute inclusion either, as it's in the camera script. However, as no such product ever existed in the UK, it's almost certainly a joke.
