It's "The Avengers" and "The Prisoner" On BBC America

[Kathy in Cambridge]

I intentionally left out "The Saint', which is on in the middle, because though Roger Moore was quite good looking as a lad, the show pales in comparison to the other two.

So who is watching some Cold War spy thrillers this evening?

:toast:

Mrs. Peel, we're needed!

:-(

2. Who is Number One?

You are Number Six.

I swear, I could do an entire college course on that show. Draw parralells to McLuhan and his contemporaries.

4. Given this administration's Orwellian overtones, it's very timely

Plus I looove Patrick McGoohan. Quite a handsome man!

5. I wanted to be Emma Peel when I was 4

I even had white go-go boots.

6. I came along a little later

But got into her through reruns. Also, there was a Seattle band in the early '80s called the Allies. They had a song called "Emma Peel," which was actually pretty cool. Local music here sucked then. Just a bit o' trivia from the flamingyouth cache! :D

8. I was 4 in '68, and I think she had already left the show

but her fashion sense was burned in my toddler psyche.

9. Oh yeah, she looked so hot

And just who was MR. Peel, anyway? I was born in '68. :D

10. It was explained on the last show that Diana Rigg appeared in

Mr. Peel had gone off on an expedition somewhere and was lost and presumed dead.

He turned up alive, which was the excuse for Emma Peel to leave and the mediocre Tara to take her place.

7. Love these shows !

Cannot get enough of The Prisoner. After all these years, it still looks innovative.

11. The Prisoner!

Man, does this show still feel fresh after all this time.
