The chemistry of Steed/Peel is unbeatable! The best formation, indeed.
-
RIP Patrick MacNee and now Diana Rigg. They are together at long last and nothing can cancel them out in heaven.
-
The Laurie Johnson theme is THE BEST!
-
Diana Rigg would have been the most awesome Catwoman in Batman
-
Laurie Johnson was responsible for many memorable themes including The Professionals and he's still with us at the ripe old age of 96.
-
The show really evolved into presenting a lot of style. One of TVs finest programs ever.
-
The Laurie Johnson theme captured the Steed-Peel relationship, intelligent, dynamic, and witty.
-
Once on Frasier, Daphne told how she once dressed as Emma Peel for Halloween in a catsuit and casually thought she still had it, the look on Niles face was priceless!
-
They should have just paid Diana Rigg exactly what she was worth. She was the quintessential Avenger. Really as important as John Steed to the story. ATV made a blunder.
-
when i was just 7y old and we watched the avengers and his umbrella and miss peel judo action . what was a golden time .
-
Laurie Johnson not only knocked it out of the park with his first version of the theme, he made it iconic at the same time, and really epitomised the British element of the show as well. His New Avengers was an excellent update as well. Pure genius...
-
This show always takes me back to a far nicer place and time, if only we could all go back to the 60s.
-
I have to say first, all Ladies played their characters very well in the Avengers, but my female favorite star in this legendary series was Diana Rigg aka Emma Peel. For me she was and will be always the only one Avengers Queen.
-
The season 4 and 5 theme song by Laurie Johnson is so much better than the one before it. One of the great TV theme songs of all time! I feel sorry for Linda Thorson who had the bad luck of following Diana Rigg.
-
Classiest TV show of all time!
-
Diana Rigg was the best!!
-
The show's evolution from a somber, quasi-realistic crime melodrama focalizing a pragmatic doctor and a charming-but-hardboiled agent into a goofy lightweight action series pitting a duo of comic spies against murderous robots, ambulatory extraterrestrial plants and brainwashed housecats is a strangely intriguing topic to me; it's basically equivalent to Z-Cars metamorphosing into 60s Batman.

Oh, how I loved Diana Rigg when I was around 13. Saw the series in the end of the 70s beginning 80s I guess. Those cat-suits were her best weapons. I was so happy to see her in her last role in "Game of thrones"
-
What a marvellous series that was .I am too young to remember the earlier series but i do remember Diana Rigg and Linda Thorson .RIP Patrick and Diana
-
The later theme with Linda Thorsen grew on me, I was raised in the sixties and it took a while to warm up to her after Emma, but now many years later I realized she was the best partner for John Steed, youth and exuberance matched well with John's wisdom and temperament and it helped that she adored him in a special way that Emma could not express, but she could.
