The Avengers
Mrs Peel, We're Needed!
Created by Sydney Newman
On ITV1
A stylish, tongue-in-cheek British spy series that balances genuine espionage thrills with campy absurdity and urbane charm, built on the chemistry between Steed and his rotating partners.
A quirky spy show of the adventures of eccentrically suave British Agent John Steed and his predominantly female partners. Jonathan Steed - an urbane, proper gentleman spy - teams with various assistants throughout the series' run, including Dr. David Keel, Cathy Gale, Emma Peel and Tara King, to repeatedly save the world from diabolical schemes plotted by equally diabolical evil-doers (among them robots and man-eating monsters).
