Sad, but very true! The chemistry just wasn’t there. Ralph Finnes was a stodgy uptight Steed with zero humor. Patrick played Steed with a twinkle and playfulness. Uma was also very wooden. Did either of them ever laugh or smile in that movie? They played it very stiff

Can’t make programs like this anymore,super suave Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg as John Steed and Emma Peel,she is still going strong to this day acting and gorgeous as ever,also her daughter Rachel Stirling is an actress too,she definitely as her mothers looks😍
This is the first time seeing the first appearance of Emma Peel. Diana Ring had the character from the beginning. The chemistry between Peel and Steed was there immediately. Usually it takes time for a new actor to establish who they are in an ongoing series but not Diana Rigg. This scene immediately established how Peel and Steed were going to work together. Nice.
Wow, I thank you for this video. It brings back memories. Emma Peel was my role model at nine years old. Diana Rigg was made for this role. I still find myself searching The web to see her and Steed in action. They were the perfect power couple.
Thank you so much for finding and posting this little gem - that reminded me of so many dreams I had about Diana Rigg. She projected a very different image of what we were used to in the States where women were presented in the likes of "Bewitched, Jeannie, That Girl, Laura Petrie (Mary Tyler Moore),... Emma Peel could stand on her own (without magic or wittchraft!), she was bold, athletic, thank you for the memories, L
I didn’t get to enjoy this series when it was originally broadcast in the US. But I knew I would love it and when I finally saw it, I did! So smart, suave and sassy. Excellent plots and repartee, things conspicuously absent in TV shows now.
@@HaveCheetahWillView Actually, seeing as she's presumed widowed at this point, there's a lot of implication in the stuff they say to each other. They are very flirty, and Patrick McNee is on record as saying he assumes the characters do actually have something going on offscreen. It's strongly hinted at, but never explicit. You, the viewer, can decide either way...
She was literally a widow until the final 2 minutes of the Forget Me Knot so sex was fair game between Steed and Emma. Also the same episode when they're in "his" room and he mentions "Shouldn't she be getting to bed" and fade to black, she didn't leave the room, y'all. So in the first 20 minutes of the first broadcast episode there's offscreen sex going on.
I saw these shows when I was 9. Diana Rigg was great as Mrs Peel & a much better role model than Disney Princesses. I loved the relationship between Steed & Mrs Peel. She never had to compromise her intelligence & clearly Steed admired everything about her. This was made in the 1960's & men today still aren't this secure.
8 years later and things only seem to have gotten worse. I mean, she's everything a real man could want! But yeah, instead we get insecure MGTOW, forced diversity that just feels flat and shallow, and men put down rather than women raised up. Emma Peel is basically the female James Bond - skilled, competent, deadly, men want her, women want to be her!
Wow! I just noticed that at the 0:21 second mark, as the screen pans out, if you look closely at the very top of the screen, you can see that it's a set with lights behind the false wall, that's supposed to be the windows of Mrs. Peel's apartment. It's only visible for about half a second, but it's definitely visible.
There's much that we Americans don't understand about British culture and humor. In 1960s Britain if a woman were attractive to men, she was said to have Male Appeal, abbreviated to M. Appeal. Emma Peel?
I remember watching this as a child. Who wasn't crazy for Emma Peel? Then I could never understand why they put her with such an "old man" since to me he was like 80 years old. Now I wish I was his age :)
+Kermit Thefrog - Even though Diana was stunningly gorgeous, don't ever underestimate Patrick. The chemistry worked for everyone who enjoyed the series.
Or at the very least, Mrs. Peel was a widow. Notice you never saw Mr. Peel..."Listen here, Steed, you a-hole, I'm not wild about getting cucked on a weekly basis by a dandy like you!"
Although this was the introduction of Emma Peel, this Diana Rigg version of "Town of No Return" was actually the 10th episode filmed. (Note the John Bates shoes and Emma's more casual wardrobe in comparison to "The Cybernauts.") The first version was indeed the first Emma Peel episode, but it starred Elizabeth Shepard as Emma Peel. All of Steed and Emma's scenes were re-shot with Diana Rigg, but most of Steed's solo scenes and footage are from the original.
Even as a youth, I really liked how Mrs. Peel was no-nonsense and could fight skillfully. It always drove me nuts watching ineffectual women standing around gasping and cowering while men fought nearby.
Except, despite her abilities, she had to face sexual harassment on the job from her own partner. Open your eyes. Poking her in the butt? Twirling her in a curtain? Making disparaging and condescending comments about her stance, her steel? Commanding her to come right away, that instant? See clearly beyond the script. This is male harassment at every level coming from her own partner, where a high level of mutual respect and trust should exist.
@@mjremy2605 How blind can men act. Most woman do not mind normal treatment it is just the few big mouths who try to to go against man having an Adam given right and attraction.
@@mjremy2605 The poking of the butt was just the script being amusing. This is not real life A real life society is not normal making virtually illegal behavior out of man telling a woman she looks pretty a practice going back to the stone age. Of course it is the same society that has legalized addictive drugs that blow a human mind literally.
When I see this, it brings back so many fond memories! The entire world loved Mrs. Emma Peel! (Man Appeal was the formula used for her name) R.I.P. Dame Enid Diana Elizabeth Rigg DBE (1938-2020) The legacy you left us will be cherished 4-EVER!
There are moments {particularly a direct visual reference to "The House that Jack Built"} in that movie that indicate that the original script was quite knowledgeable about the show, but someone ruthlessly cut them out.
Maybe, because we want to live in the past, when all the things were good ( even the bad ones), but is not technically possible, but we live in the present, which is logical,and more than possible.But nothing will be the same !
Mrs Peel's first appearance, but not Diana Rigg's first outing as Mrs Peel. This scene was filmed after several episodes had been completed, so that viewers would see the rapport from the start.
My Dad was stationed in England from 1960-1964. While I thought Diana Rigg’s predecessor on the Avengers Honor Blackman was very pretty, I absolutely fell in love with Diana the moment she made her debut as Emma Peel. Being all of 11 years old, what the heck did I know about love? Call it serious infatuation at the very least. What a drop dead gorgeous stunning lady. Miss you Diana. Needless to say, the chemistry you & Steed had was truly special. What a team! Got a chance to meet Patrick Macnee years ago. A real class act. Miss them both.
The Beatles would have been a bland foursome without Ringo; his ugly mug was something that the working-class could identify with; he was one of them, indubitably.
I remember how new and ' mod ' this show was , back in the day . Hard to believe that those two lively , animated and relatively young people - especially Diana Rigg - are no longer above ground . " We are only dancing on this earth for a short time . " - Kat Stevens
A great scene, and one that cleverly and immediately sets the stall of the then-new Avengers approach of doing things slightly off-kilter compared with the Mrs Gale era. Wonderful stuff. :-)
Diana Riggs was in the movie HEIDI. She played the Grandmama her character was inciteful and loving and blessed Heidi. Wonderful woman. I enjoyed The avengers as a young child in the early 1960"s it was very inspiring.
We get so dazzled by Mrs. Peel that we often fail to acknowledge Steed's charm and charisma. They're a perfect pair!

@Urethra Grundle Modern Disney seems to be artificially kid friendly to me. It's not at all what Walt must have envisioned for his company.

So do I!
Heh. I want to be Steed and know an Emma.
A most splendid introduction! Their fencing and repartee pair perfectly.
It's one of those roles in which the actor epitomizes the role. Emma Peel was made for Diana Rigg.
BuddyNovinski They sacked the 1st Mrs. Peel, MacNee always credited Rigg with rewriting their dialogue, so actually Dame Diana created Mrs. Peel.
