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.

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.
