Mrs. Peel never screamed

carflo

After years of watching women scream to be rescued, Mrs. Peel never ever screamed.  She rescued herself - and sometimes she rescued Steed.  It was like breath of fresh air in a hot stuffy room. Of course, that is not all there was to The Avengers.  It was stylish, witty and lots of fun.  No matter how bad the situation, Steed, the professional, and Mrs. Peel, the talented amateur, never lost their cool.  They were always calm and dryly self-confident. And best of all, Mrs. Peel never screamed.
