Avengers prep
The avengers was very different to other tv programs of its time because one of the main characters was a woman which would not happen back in those days. Mrs peel was thought to be a trained just like Steed but no matter what steed always had the edge on Mrs Peel.Their clothes and props etc are very posh as they dress in taylor suits and fancy dresses and always do fencing which is considered to be a posh sport. The war is still in context in this time as there are paper planes hanging in the bar and Steed found the world war building were the soldiers would sleep.
