Summaries

A quirky spy show of the adventures of eccentrically suave British Agent John Steed and his predominantly female partners.

John Steed (Patrick Macnee) works for British Intelligence and works with various partners, notably: Dr. David Keel (Ian Hendry) (season one), Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman) (seasons two and three), Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) (seasons four, five, and six), and Tara King (Linda Thorson) (season seven). The problems he finds are always a bit odd, just on the edge of science fiction (cyborg killers, a city built under a disused coal mine, a gang put together for adrenaline junkies, and a killer who used a concentrated cold virus to kill his victims by having them sneeze to death). Steed is always the ultimate in culture and grace as he saves the world each week.—John Vogel <[email protected]>

Two middle-aged detectives, a female and a male, team up to investigate and solve crimes and stop criminals. They both use old-style techniques to stop criminals and save their country. Outside of work, they both set out on countless adventures together.—RECB3
