    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      During her first season, Diana Rigg was dismayed to find out that the cameraman was being paid more than she was. She demanded a raise, to put her more on a par with her co-star, or she would leave the show. The producers gave in, thanks to the show's great popularity in the U.S.
    • Quotes
      • [repeated line]
      • John Steed: Mrs. Peel, we're needed.
    • Crazy credits
      In some parts of the world, the opening credits for the first color season begin with a brief sequence showing Steed preparing to open a bottle of champagne. Mrs. Peel shoots the cap off the bottle, and they pour a toast to each other. Only then do the opening credits actually begin.
    • Alternate versions
      Starting in the summer of 2004, the BBC America Channel aired prints of fifth and sixth season episodes with the humorous tag sequences at the end of episodes deleted. During the autumn of 2004, the prints were further altered, with the original closing credits sequence with shadowy images of Steed and Mrs. Peel against a blue background replaced by credits rapidly rolled past a plain black background. In early 2005, the same channel aired seventh season prints with the same changes.

    FAQ4

    • Who besides me remembers closing credits where an unseen person performs "card tricks?" Fanning a deck open, then snapping it shut, etc. I have looked and looked for this sequence, followed, I believe, by a final ABC (Associated British Corporation).
    • What exactly is Steed's military history?
    • Why doesn't Steed use a gun?
