The Avengers
I never get tired of the re-runs of The Avengers - my crush on Diana Rigg started when I was thirteen, and it's still going strong!
I love the quirkiness of the whole thing, and especially Steed's beautiful manners, something we are losing as time goes by.
In all episodes, until the day she left, he never ever referred to Emma Peel as anything other than 'Mrs Peel', only calling her 'Emma' when they said goodbye.
Wonderful.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have just remembered that we said hello to Diana Rigg some years ago.She was appearing at The Chichester Festival Theatre,in Noel Coward's Hay Fever (2009).We just said hello, and she responded with her usual charm, and lovely big smile.
We were both parking our cars,in the theatre's car park at the time.
Amazing who you can meet in a car park,isn't it!
best Bond girl too, though "girl" is hardly the word. It's taken decades for OHMSS to start getting the acclaim it deserves.
Andy, if you're wondering how Steed came about, look for two 1939 films, Q Planes and Murder in Soho. Both feature a copper/MI6 man called Hammond, both of them with brolly and bowler and a little eccentric.
unfair, PP, he had to do a lot more acting than Connery ever had to. He had to make metajokes about "This never happened to the other fella", he had to wear a kilt, he had to grieve for a murdered wife - it was decades before they put another love story into a Bond movie (just as well, no way Roger Moore could have handled it). Too much skiing in it, I think, but it had one of the best songs.
