The X-Files Inspiration: The Avengers's Mr. Steed and Mrs. Peel
Found this while hunting up quotes for my "CC Planned MSR From the Beginning" miniseries.
CC's First Interview While Advertising the Pilot:
“David and Gillian are very bright,” Carter said. “They truly are the characters. Their relationship is cerebral and subtly sexy. Fox and Dana remind me of John Steed and Emma Peel in ‘The Avengers.’ ”
So, who were John Steed and Emma Peel?
JOHN STEED
During the first season Steed's character was a more rough-and-tumble operative than the suave, sophisticated gentleman he became during the Gale and Peel eras. His most common style of dress as Dr. Keel's sidekick was a trenchcoat and suit.... (Note: By the second season, Steed had dispensed with the trenchcoat and was found wearing the familiar three-piece suits with which he is afterward identified.)
Out of all his partners, he was closest to Mrs Peel; while their interaction was often laced with dry, sardonic wit on both sides, he respected her as an equal, and owed her his life on more than a few occasions.
-Wikipedia
EMMA PEEL
Regarded as a 1960s fashion icon and sex symbol, the character is often remembered for the leather catsuit sometimes worn by [Diana] Rigg in her early episodes.
Peel is a strong heroine; she is rarely defeated in fights and is capable of rescuing Steed if he is in trouble. She is a master of martial arts and a formidable fencer. A certified genius, she specialises in chemistry and other sciences.
-Wikipedia
AND WHAT WAS THEIR DYNAMIC?
As described by Wikipedia (and this article):
Peel's verbal interactions with Steed range from witty banter to thinly disguised innuendo. Regarding the constant question of whether they had a sexual relationship at any time, Patrick Macnee thought the characters went to bed on a very regular basis (just not in view of the camera). However, Rigg thought they were most likely engaging in an enjoyable extended flirtation that ultimately went nowhere. Writer/producer Brian Clemens said he wrote them with the idea that they had an affair before Emma's first appearance in the series,[6] and they certainly appear to already know each other very well when Emma is first introduced.
Further:
But most of all I love the relationship between Steed and Emma. While they clearly adore one another, they also treat each other with great respect. Theirs is "one of those glorious, deeply intimate flirtations that spin off into infinity," to use Diana Rigg's [Emma Peel] words.
In other words: the eternal "will they, won't they?"

So this was my Christmas haul this year. Is the auto authentic? I don't know, it came with a paper stating it is but I doubt it and I don't really care either way. Anyway it was a pretty good Avengers Christmas.

One Dress a Day Challenge
Anything Goes December
The Avengers (season 5) / Diana Rigg as Emma Peel
With all the costumes I've featured from this show, somehow I've never made an entry for Emma's most famous look, the catsuit. This is partly because I could never choose just one! So I'm devoting this post to a montage of all her catsuits from season 5, her color season. They show quite a range of colors, trim, and styles. Photos borrowed from The Avengers Fashion Guide, an indispensible resource for any fan.

The Avengers (1960-1969)! The zany British sci-fi crime show, which starred the iconic Diana Rigg as Emma Peel for a few seasons. Hands down one of the most enjoyable and nostalgic shows for me!
(It might also have been Perry Mason, but I'm not sure. Can you tell my parents are old?)
Time for a new poll! I'm curious to see the spread of answers on this one (and hear any other series not on the list.) Tried to go for a range of older and newer series on here, more on the older end of the spectrum, but I can't cover everything with the limited poll options here, so I hope you'll share your answers! :)
Please reblog for a larger sample size, thank you!

14. If you could own any movie or TV costume piece (not necessarily to wear), which would it be?
Hmm, I think I'd like one of John Steed's bowler hats! Preferably one of the grey ones, because I think they look cool.
Looks like one was sold not so long ago, and the value was estimated at £3,000-5,000! I guess I should start saving my nickels.
Thanks for the question!
