Justine The Sneaky, it was perhaps the first time my generation saw a woman who was super intelligent and a karate expert who just happened to be beautiful... inspiring for girls back then, especially as she was often rescuing the male lead character!

loved that show
Goddess Raven
The character was called Emma Peel because they wanted the person to have lots of ‘man appeal’ was such a different time but a great show nonetheless
Canadagirl

she also has the distinction of being the only Bond girl to marry 007 which is probably why she was killed in the movie.
Angela
Super love for her since she did what she did on Game of Thrones. GOT fans you know what I'm talking about 👍

Emma Peel and Mr. Sneed, The Avengers, plus the comedy actors, The Carry On Gang, and Roger Moore as The Saint, made me love English tv shows and movies when I was a young girl.
