Indeed.
God Bless him.
The Avengers was among my favorite television shows.
(Although admittedly more due to Diana Rigg's "Emma Peel" Than for "John Steed".
and there was Return of the Avengers in the 80’s with Ms Purdy and Gambit.
In the first season Honor Blackman, who went on to play Pussy Galore in Goldfinger, was Steed’s partner. She wasn’t too shabby either.
I can’t think of anyone that could wear a Bowler Hat better!
