More on the most beautiful and sexiest woman on television from my youth. In addition, a fact about the show come out of the horse's mouth.

More Diana Rigg as Emma Peel
I found this clip on YouTube. It is titled "Emma Peel - I'm Too Sexy - Diana Rigg." I have to agree. She is the sexiest woman of my youth. I loved her in her "Emma Peelers."
This is a great collection of short clips of Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. There are two very good parts that I absolutely LOVE.
At :24, she walks away from the camera in a black bra, however you can see reflection in the mirror. For a teen boy of the 60s ..that was PURE HOT!!!
The other is at 2:48 when she puts her hands in her harem pants and pulls them up over her butt. That is another WOW moment.
I have said it many times before. Diana Rigg as Emma Peel was one of the sexiest, if not THE sexiest women in the history of television. She did get me, and a large number of others, through puberty.
The only two women who could even be considered in the same league was Barbara Eden as "Jeannie" and Julie Newmar at "Catwoman." They come close, but "close" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Emma Peel: I suppose Mother warned you about women like me?
John Steed: Until now, I didn't know there were women like you.

The Last Scene with Emma Peel from The Avengers
I have found the last scene from The Avengers with Emma Peel (played by Diana Rigg) leaving with her long-lost and recently found husband.
Notice the way she told Tara King (played by Linda Thorson) the way Steed liked his tea stirred (anti-clockwise).
Also notice the appearance and demeanor of her husband as he is opens the car door for Mrs. Peel. One never sees his face but IMHO he is "exactly" like Steed.
I had forgotten this episode, but it reinforces my view that these two (Peel and Steed) were a couple (in the Biblical sense).
Observe the way Mrs. Peel looks up (while she and her husband are driving away) at the the window where Steed is standing. Her look says it all. I have had only one woman in my life given me that look and both of us knew what it meant.
This is a great clip and linked together the two characters (Mrs. Peel and Tara King) for the enjoyment of the fans. They do not do that in today's television.
Well, sit back and enjoy the clip.

More on The Avengers
John Steed and Emma Peel were one of the classic fictional male/female crimefighting teams. It was the ease and natural chemistry between the two of them that made the Diana Rigg episodes of "The Avengers" special.
They behaved like good friends who maintained a certain public formality (they never called each other by their first names), but we just KNEW those two were sleeping together.
Well, weren't they? I always liked to think they were. I just loved the banter going back and forth. They do not make shows like this anymore.
Emma Peel: [Emma is admiring an antique bed] I've always rather fancied myself in one of these.
John Steed: So have I... I mean, I have too.

Updated "The Avengers" Opening (IN COLOR)
I found the updated opening for "The Avengers." This one shows better video (film) of Diana Rigg as Emma Peel.
I know I sound obsessed with her, but she brings back pleasant memories of my youth. After she left the series, I never really watched it any more.
I hope you enjoy this.

A GREAT Memory From My (and Possibly Your) Youth
See if this does not bring back memories?
I was IN LOVE with Diana Rigg (Emma Peel). What young male of the 60s and full grown man of the 21st century was not? She was beautiful, intelligent, and could kick your ASS!!!
What more could a man (or boy) want from a woman? She sure got me ( and most certainly many others) through puberty. She WAS and STILL IS absolutely gorgeous.
I will try to find the opening from the later episodes that were in color.
“I hope there's a tinge of disgrace about me. Hopefully, there's one good scandal left in me yet.” - Diana Rigg
