Epic : The Avengers 5x11 (1967) - "Mrs Peel, We're Needed!" scene

[@dennisavant2833]

I watched this show everyday it came on. The day she left the show broke my heart. I love watching the re runs. It takes me back to my younger years. RIP Mrs Peel.

My heart was broken too.

Yes, this show was before my time, but it’s clear that these two had the best chemistry together.

[@hedgemist691]

So many memories for so many people. I'm so glad we can watch it on KZbin.

[@NoosaHeads]

The colours, the lighting, the sound quality, the clothes, the locations - everything was done so immaculately.

[@hedgemist691]

I love this scene. I love all of them, but this one is my favourite. I can imagine myself as a child trudging through those winter country lanes.

[@holyboy1]

That country lane is half hour walk away for me. Also that is where the intro for Tara King Avengers is, where she runs along the bridge.

[@scruffyscrubs5468]

Rest in Peace Diana Rigg

[@clonosaurios]

I've never lived in the 60s/70s, but since I watched this show I've got the impression life was simpler back then

[@shermanlee4037]

In some ways. In other ways more complicated. Some things have changed for the worse since then, some things for the better (and some people disagree about whether some changes are worse or better). But trust me, life has never been truly simple.

I remember also. The charm of the older series. Note how the Lotus, as well as its two passengers go through mud, yet remain picture perfect all the time. Especially she, perfect hairdo everything she steps out of that convertible. Lovely.

[@don4476]

In an interview, she said the cars were difficult. Didn't always work will and were often a challenge to shift.

I adore this series. It was on when I was in high school and I never missed an episode. I have since bought the boxed set of the Emma Peel years and binge watch now and again. When I bought my first Mazda Miata, I was channeling Emma and her Lotus. And, I feel pretty cool. Just sayin’.

1:10 it's easy to forget how tiny those Lotus Elans were, no wonder they were so fast, even with 'just' 120bhp?

Fibreglass body too so they had fabulous power:weight ratio

[@laurasaxon694]

They must be in between cases at the moment since Mrs. Peel has plans to meet a friend. Steed sure isn't giving her a lot of time to get back and get ready to go out for dinner.

[@dissoluteSwine]

It's a great inversion of the standard format of him telling her she's needed, I love it!

This was one of the episodes I watched last night. Although quite serious a situation each time, Mrs. Peel almost seemed to take pleasure in kicking Kirby’s butt and make a home of him in every “scene” played out. 🤗

[@theolamp5312]

I would wait until 7, 8, or 9 to pick up Mrs. Peel for dinner. Lovely !!

[@annaritaranalli1791]

[@jaxmanx]

Mrs. Peel was the epitome of the females of 60s pure sexy elegance stylist without her looks fashion character don't think there would've been any class

[@Isleofskye]

As , like me , Daz you are a great fan of the beautiful, sexy Mrs Peel I will forgive you on this occasion but when you are using a person as an example you say " the personification" or "the embodiment". "Epitome" is used as an example of an object or something like a building would be the epitome of the Tudor era, for example. As you were , my friend...

[@artistjoh]

I think I see the problem here - they drove only four eighths of a mile instead of five tenths.

[@nigelpower1509]

Diana Rigg as Emma Peel was, to this twenty-something, the sexiest woman on TV in the Sixties. Without exception. She positively oozed sex appeal. The Avengers, good though the stories still were, was never quite the same after Peter Peel emerged from the jungle - and I loathed him for doing so!

[@carlosalbertoarregui431]

[@TralfazConstruction]

Even as a youngster this episode was anxiety inducing for their driving up that muddy lane in a clean car then getting out and walking around a bit.

[@hedgemist691]

Yes, in very unsuitable shoes.

@@hedgemist691 Exactly. When I was a youngster it was my honor to care for my father's dress shoes. I got a merit badge in the Cub Scouts for shoe and apparel appearance. Yeah, this scene really bugged me with that mud.

5/10th s of a mile :-) ......or 1/2 a mile if you prefer ...

[@dissoluteSwine]

Yes, it's an odd bit of the script.

[@RobertSeviour1]

UK car odometers had a first decimal place (of a mile) counter, so what you would see as you progressed was an increasing count 0.1 0.2 0.3 etc Hence 5 tenths of a mile makes sense - sort of.

[@dissoluteSwine]

Thanks!

[@mainstreetsaint36]

I find it odd that the Avengers takes place in the UK and they used Miles and not kilometers. Am I the only one who feels the same way?

[@kelleysauer1693]

@@mainstreetsaint36 At he time of the show, the UK still used miles. The UK went metric when it entered the European Common Market - the predecessor of today's EU.

[@SuperMarioJamesSMJ]

Does raising the pitch somehow circumvent copyright infringement

[@dissoluteSwine]

I have permission from the copyright holder to post these, the pitch is caused by these being from that release where they sped up to sound to match the 30fps rate they were playing a 24fps piece of film at. :( Get the blurays, they are perfect.

[@redpillrecording5270]

@@dissoluteSwine Thank you for sharing these pristine looking clips! Just as a clarification on the pitch, however, i believe the issue is that the films were indeed shot at 24fps, but British television shows at 25fps, creating a subtle pitch shift which is apparent to the keen-eared listener. Playing at 30fps (US standard TV) would render the pitch unlistenable. The Americans deal with this by presenting each 2 film frames over 5 'fields' of video (each TV frame is composed of two 'fields' interleaved), thereby presenting 24 film frames over the series of 60 'fields'; 30 TV frames. No speed and pitch changes required.

[@dissoluteSwine]

@@redpillrecording5270 yes, it's a PAL encoding issue that causes the pitch shift. The new blurays do not have this problem.

[@johnmarx3919]

Last time I checked five - tenths was the same as one half....

[@dissoluteSwine]

Apparently the line is due to odometers showing a single decimal place.
